Jamshedpur FC vs Chennaiyin FC: Antonio Iriondo's views about the clash
Antonio Iriondo, when asked about Chennaiyin FC's change in manager, stated that Jamshedpur FC are not sure about how the opposition are going to play under their new manager. However, Iriondo expects his side to perform well in the clash and get the required 3 points from it. The Spaniard confirmed that Sergio Castel will be out of the squad for the Chennai clash as the striker is still recovering from the injury he picked up during their match against NorthEast United FC. Iriondo confirmed that whoever performs the best in the training will get a chance to replace Castel and feature for Jamshedpur against Chennai. The 66-year-old gave a positive injury update about their Spanish midfielders Piti, who is out of action since the international break.
Antonio Iriondo stated that Piti is back in training but his inclusion in the match is yet to be decided. While talking about Jamshedpur's struggles with injuries, Iriondo expressed that he will continue to trust his players and how they have been training throughout the week. He added that he is very happy with Jamshedpur's situation at this point in the league. Antonio Iriondo stated that they have lost some of their important players but the team is getting good results as well. According to Iriondo, when teams lose an important player for five matches in short leagues like the ISL, it does create a few problems. Jamshedpur FC vs Chennaiyin FC will be played on December 9, 2019, at 7:30 PM at the JRD Tata Sports Complex.
