KOLKATA: Kolkata giants Mohun Bagan will look to pick up their first win in this edition of the
Calcutta Football League Premier Division A when they face the challenge of Calcutta Customs Club at their club ground on Wednesday.
The defending champions made a disastrous start to their campaign as they went down 0-3 to Peerless SC in their opening game on August 5. It is, therefore, extremely important for them to pick up full points on the morrow and get their title defence back on track.
Mohun Bagan coach Kibu Vicuna has more options now after wing-back
Lalramchullova
, who played for East Bengal last season, registered in favour of the green and maroons on Tuesday and is eligible to play against Calcutta Customs. It remains to be seen whether the Mohun Bagan coach will put the Mizoram player in the starting XI or bring him on as a substitute.
However, it was learnt that there is a slight concern over the availability of Spanish defender Fran Morante, who has a slight niggle.
Meanwhile, Calcutta Customs, who have got one point to their kitty after two matches, has been bolstered by the addition of Ghana striker Phillip Adjah. He performed quite well for Mohammedan Sporting Club last season with his speed and guile and the Mohun Bagan defenders will need to keep a close watch on him.
Calcutta Customs Club started their campaign in the Calcutta Football League Premier Division A with a loss against Kalighat Milan Sangha before playing out a 1-1 stalemate with Bhowanipore Club.
