Since entering the fray in the home game against FC Pune City, where the Blasters staged a commendable fightback to draw the game, Ugandan Kizito Keziron has been an ever-present in Kerala's midfield.

However, the Tuskers lost the 20-year-old to injury when he fell awkwardly after contesting for the ball with Izu Azuka in the 41st minute. He was down on the ground for a long time and after he was taken out to the touchline, the Blasters' medical staff attempted to patch him up by strapping his left shoulder extensively. It looked like Keziron had suffered a dislocation.

However, after coming back on briefly, he was still in much discomfort and David James and the Blasters staff decided to take him off.

He is sure to miss at least a couple of games and considering his impact since his arrival. It remains to be seen how Kerala can cope without him.
