Kerala Blasters manager Ivan Vukomanovi may face his toughest test of the season when East Bengal visits the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on October 7, 2022.

Goalkeeper: Prabhsukhan Singh Gill
Last season’s golden glove winner Prabhsukhan Singh gill in goal is safe. In fact, with the departing of albino gomes, his position as no. 1 goalkeeper appears to be even more secure.
Right Back: Harmanjot Singh Khabra
Harmanjot Singh Khabra, 33, proved his critics wrong with a stellar performance throughout the ISL 2021-22 season following his Move from arch-rivals Bengaluru FC.
Nishu Kumar, a heavily paid defender who already has recently recovered from knee injuries, is going to be seeking an opportunity to prove his worth.
Centre Back: Marko Lešković

Left Back: Jessel Carneiro
The Goan defender is anticipated to return to the lineup this season after bouncing back from a shoulder injury. Jessel Carneiro’s movement up and down the left flank, together with his free kicks and famous pin-point crossing expertise, will be crucial for the Kerala Blasters.
Right Midfield: Sahal Abdul Samad
Sahal Abdul Samad scored six goals in 21 ISL games last season. Last season, Sahal Abdul Samad, an attacking midfielder, had the biggest influence on the flank as a winger.
Saurav Mandal, a new arrival who plays a similar role, will pose a challenge to Sahal this season. Saurav had a strong preseason.

Defensive Midfield: Jeakson Singh
Jeakson Singh, India’s only FIFA World Cup goal-scorer, has been consistent on the pitch since joining the club. Last season, he and Puitea formed the Blasters’ midfield pivot.
Jeakson Singh, 21, plays the game at his own pace in the middle of the park. Many of Kerala Blasters’ counter-attacks are set up by his quick thinking and accurate passing ability.
Central Midfield: Ivan Kaliuzhnyi
Ivan Kaliuzhnyi, a 24-year-old midfielder on loan from Ukrainian Premier League club Oleksandriya, will serve as a captivating inclusion in the center of the Kerala Blasters’ middle of the park.
Ivan Kaliuzhnyi had a strong preseason and is viewed as one of the favorites to start in this position. His natural game style fits well in the pivot role that appears to be given to him.
Left Midfield: Adrián Luna
Adrián Luna, an Uruguayan midfielder, began the year as club vice-captain before taking over as captain when Jessel Carneiro suffered a shoulder injury.

Centre Forward: Dimitrios Diamantakos
Dimitrios Diamantakos, a 29-year-old striker, joined Kerala Blasters from Croatian top division club Hajduk Split.
