Chennaiyin to face NorthEast in Super Cup quarters

By The Assam Tribune

BHUBANESWAR, April 6: An upbeat Chennayin FC will take on injury-plagued NorthEast United FC in the last quarterfinal of the Hero Super Cup 2019 at the Kalinga Stadium here on Sunday.

Talking about his side�s preparation for Sunday�s clash, Chennaiyin head coach John Gregory said: �We have obviously been travelling. We have had one day to recover from the AFC Cup game. But our focus is now the game against NorthEast. The boys are ready and all of them are raring to go.

�I�ve got a fit squad which has always been a benefit for me. I�ve got everybody to choose from. We�ve got no real injury doubts. It�s brilliant to have Dhanpal Ganesh back after missing the Hero ISL season. To have him back at such a crucial time is a real pleasure.�

The Englishman, then, gave his opinion about the opposition and stated, �We had a poor Hero ISL season and NorthEast had a fantastic season. First time ever they qualified for the semifinals. The coach and his players should get a lot of credit for having such a great season.� � PTI
