The reverse fixture would be crucial for both the teams as they are still languishing at the bottom of the points table. While Blasters have eight points from 10 games, Hyderabad have only five points from as many games.
Right from the start of the season, The Kochi-based outfit has a long list of injured players. Eelco Schattorie said that he doesn’t have his full squad available for this fixture too, but did not reveal the names sidelined.
Running on a nine-match winless streak, the gaffer faced an inevitable question on the team’s morale. Schattorie, however, took up the responsibility of keeping up the spirit in the team and said there is no issue with the same.
The gaffer feels the Hyderabad match will be a difficult one, but says the team will go all out for a good result.
Most of the teams have been busy with off-field activities after the January transfer window has opened. However, Schattorie ruled out the chances of a new arrival to Kochi soon and said they would be working with what they have.
