ISL 2020-21: How many foreign players can play for each ISL team? Full list of foreigners in ISL this season

#4 FC Goa

Edu Bedia (centre) has been named FC Goa's captain for this season

The departure of Sergio Lobera just before the end of last season meant that Goa had to look for a new head coach before this season.

They have appointed Spaniard Juan Ferrando, in a bid to carry forward the style and panache of the Lobera days, while coupling that with winning games as well.

Only one foreigner has stayed on at FC Goa from last season, with Edu Bedia set to skipper the side. Hugo Boumous, Ahmed Jahouh and Mourtada Fall have joined Mumbai City FC, Coro has joined Atletico Baleares in Spain, while Carlos Pena has retired from professional football.

The Coro-sized hole in their squad will be filled by another Spaniard in Igor Angulo. Defender James Donachie, on loan from A-League side Newcastle Jets, is FC Goa's AFC foreigner for the season.

Foreign Players: Edu Bedia, James Donachie, Igor Angulo, Ivan Gonzalez, Alberto Noguera, Jorge Ortiz Mendoza

Aridane Santana has moved from Odisha FC to Hyderabad FC

Spaniards Lluis Sastre, Odei Onaindia and Francisco Sandaza are joined by Brazilian Joao Victor in their first seasons in Indian Football.

Hyderabad FC have signed striker Joel Chianese from Perth Glory to fill the AFC quota.

Gary Hooper will spearhead the Kerala Blasters challenge in the ISL this season

One of the ISL's most-followed teams, Kerala Blasters have gone through another rebuild in the build-up to this season.
