Mumbai City FC injury concerns:

Meanwhile, the champions had to play the last match without the service of Ahmed Jahouh who plays a pivotal role for the team. When he was asked about his availability he responded, ” The result of the scan has come out. It is not bad. Yes, he is in contention for the selection for the next match. But the last thing we want is that he plays a match and gets injured once again. So, we will look after him and will take a final call after the advice of our medical team. Everyone is available for selection.”

On the other hand, FC Goa will be looking to play for the fans and pride. They will look to collect as many points as they can and finish the season on a high note. Most of the foreigners have a contract with the club until the end of the season. So, they will be looking to perform to their best ability to get clubs in the next season.
