Thu Nov 07 14:04:34 UTC 2024: ## Kerala Blasters Look to Bounce Back Against Hyderabad FC in ISL Clash

**Kochi, November 6, 2024:** After suffering consecutive losses and dropping to 10th place in the ISL standings, Kerala Blasters are eager to regain their momentum when they face off against Hyderabad FC at the Nehru Stadium on Thursday.

Despite the recent setbacks, the Blasters remain optimistic, particularly as they face a Hyderabad team currently occupying the 11th position with only four points. However, the Kochi side will be without their Ghanaian forward, Kwame Peprah, who was sent off against Mumbai City for celebrating a goal by removing his jersey, resulting in a second yellow card.

Peprah’s absence, coupled with the continued absence of star striker Noah Sadaoui due to injury, places added responsibility on captain Adrian Luna to lead the attack against Hyderabad.

“We know we are in a situation where we need three-pointers, that’s clear,” stated Blasters head coach Mikael Stahre. “You can’t let the losses influence your mind too much, you have to move on. My job now is to help the team take the negatives as learning points and continue to play like we were playing around the 70th minute before we got that red card.”

The match promises to be a crucial encounter for the Blasters as they aim to climb back up the ISL table and rekindle their winning spirit.
