There are indications that Kerala Blasters FC will bring a foreign player who is good at playing in winger and second striker positions to the camp soon. The arrival of the new star will be for the 2023-2024 season to replace the injured Australian forward Joshua Sotirio.
27-year-old Joshua Sotirio joined Kerala Blasters FC on a two-year contract. However, he suffered an ankle injury during the pre-season camp in Kochi and was forced to miss three-quarters of the 2023-2024 season. With this, Kerala Blasters FC is looking for a replacement for Joshua Sotirio.
A player under the umbrella of AFC will be the one to reach the Yellow Army if they are looking for a replacement for Joshua Sotirio. Rumor has it that he will be a central midfielder. However, it is reported that Kerala Blasters FC will soon announce the entry of a new foreign player. With the exit of Joshua Sotirio, the number of foreign players in the Kerala Blasters FC camp will be reduced to five for the 2023-2024 season. It is in this situation that Kerala Blasters FC is preparing to acquire the sixth player to complete the quota of foreign players.
Montenegro’s centre-back/left-back Milos Drincic, Croatian centre-back Marko Leskovic, Uruguayan playmaker Adrian Luna, Greek center-striker Dimitrios Diamantakos, Nigerian right-winger/centre-striker Justin Emmanuel are currently foreign players in the Kerala Blasters FC camp.
At the same time, three foreign players who were in the team last season left the club this time. It was Spanish player Victor Mongil, Australian player Apostolas Giannu and Ukrainian player Ivan Kaliushny. Kaliushni joined the Yellow Army on a one-year loan deal. Interestingly, Blasters did not show interest in extending the contract with these three. But it is also noteworthy that the contract with Greek striker Dimitrios Diamantakos, who performed brilliantly last season, has been extended. Yellow Pages have extended the Greek star’s contract until the end of the 2023-24 season.
