I-League: How costly will Jobby Justin, Nestor Gordillo's absence be for title-chasing Chennai City, East Bengal?

The Hindu  

The title race for the current edition of the I-League has been keeping the fans in Kolkata and Chennai at tenterhooks. Barely a couple of hundred kilometres away in the coastal city of Kozhikode, visitor and second-placed East Bengal will be striving for a similar goal against the host Gokulam Kerala FC while hoping that Chennai City draws or loses its match allowing it to usurp the crown. Chennai City FC misses Spanish winger Nestor Gordillo, while East Bengal will have to do without its hard-working attacker Jobby Justin in the eleven. RELATED| Chennai City a win away from history For the aspiring champion Chennai City, which has a point’s advantage over East Bengal, the absence of Gordillo is definitely big as the Spaniard formed a very effective combination in the creative zone with his compatriot Sandro Rodriguez. It's of no surprise that Gordillo made nine assists so far while scoring eight goals to be the key contributor in Chennai City’s offensive plans.
