Struggling Kolkata giants East Bengal have named defender Robert Lalthalmuana in its squad for their I-League away matches in Pune against Bharat FC on April 8 (Wednesday) and Pune FC on April 11 (Saturday).
Lalthalmuana has recovered from a leg injury that kept him out of his team's previous matches.
Dutch Coach Eelco Schattorie will be hoping for a turnaround after recent losses against league leaders Mohun Bagan AC and third-placed Royal Wahingdoh FC. The twin losses condemned the three-time champions to a lowly sixth spot in the standings with 13 points from 10 matches.
The team will be missing goalkeeper Subhasish Roy Chowdhury for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury.
The squad: Abhijit Mondal, Abhra Mondal (Goalkeepers), Deepak Kumar Mondal, Abhishek Das, Arnab Mondal, Milan Susak, Raju Eknath Gaikwad, Robert Lalthalmuana (Defenders), Harmanjot Singh Khabra, Shylo Malsawm Tulunga, Joaquim Abranches, Mehtab Hossein, Cavin Lobo, Sukhwinder Singh, Leo Bertos, Baldeep Singh, Lalrindika Ralte, Mohammed Rafique (Midfielders), Ranty Martins Soleye, MacPherlin Dudu Omagbemi (Forwards).
