The situation of Kerala Blasters in the ISL 2017-2018 can be termed as being on the edge, they are not certain of a qualification in spite of boasting former Manchester United stars like Dimitar Berbatov and Wes Brown to don the jersey of Kerala Blasters. Even if they win the remainder of the fixtures, the team might not qualify. Since the first game, the team was unfortunate as they missed their key players due to injuries. Injuries have plagued the team’s progress since the very start. Wes Brown, Dimitar Berbatov, Deependra Negi, and at last, Iain Hume are some of the big names who have been injured.
Though they recently announced that Negi is fit and set to return to the playing eleven. The former U-17 captain has already become a fan favorite among the Blasters’ faithful as he became the super sub in the match against Delhi Dynamos. The 19-year-old pocketed the Hero of the game award in that game.
