The Brazil and Real Madrid legend will be pleased that his players on international duty will return to the Dynamos camp and he will be able to pick them against the defending champions.
Carlos said he will start his two strikers Robin Singh, who scored India's only goal against Guam in the World Cup qualifier yesterday, and Adil Nabi tomorrow.
Asked whether he himself will take the field, Carlos said, "It depends. It's possible. For me I feel very happy when I am on the pitch. I have fun when I play football."
The return of marquee player Helder Postiga means Atletico de Kolkata will have a spring in their step when they take on the might of Dynamos at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
"We were all waiting for him," Atletico de Kolkata coach Antonio Lopez Habas said during the pre-match media briefing where the marquee player himself was also present and said he was glad to return to Atletico de Kolkata.
The Portugal striker said, "I am at this moment in my last phase of recovery. I am happy to be here. I hope to get more fit.
Dynamos won the away clash in Kolkata by a solitary goal scored by Brazilian Gustavo Dos Santos in the 90th minute.
Dynamos have 14 points from eight matches and can move to the top of the table with a win. Atletico de Kolkata, who have 13 points from nine matches, can also move to the top with a victory that will take them above FC Goa (15 points from nine matches).
