"Unluckily due to some injuries, we could not maintain an unbeaten run. But starting tomorrow, we expect to get back to our usual form and the players are motivated to get all three points."

NEROCA FC to rely on young Indian contingent in upcoming matches

The Orange Brigade being burdened with injury problems has convinced Wangkhem Khogen Singh to turn towards young Indian players to resolve the ongoing crisis. He believes that the not-so-experienced lot, if given a chance, could be the solution to the situation the team are in. He said:

"In this situation, the Indian players have been good. They will get their chances. Most of them are inexperienced. They are steadily inexperienced."

Singh also commented on his opponents for tomorrow, stating that Kenkre FC enjoy building from the back and occasionally switching to long balls. He stated that he would set up his team to press their opponents higher up the pitch.
