Head coach Sergio Lobera, however, said the 12-day break was not ideal. Mumbai City are unbeaten against Kerala Blasters in the last six encounters having won five and drawn one. The Spaniard also revealed that his key man Hugo Boumous is fit and there are no injury concerns ahead of Saturday’s clash.

Kerala Blasters have significantly improved in their last three games, having scored five goals and an average of almost 12 shots per match. And coach Kibu Vicuna will look to break the club’s jinx against Lobera.
