Mumbai City have announced the signing of Keenan Almeida on loan from Hyderabad FC and will be with the side until the end of the season, bolstering Jorge Costa’s defensive unit. The Margao-born footballer started his career with Salgaocar SC before going on to play for Sporting Club de Goa.

A tireless worker on the field, Jackichand Singh has never been afraid to put in the hard yards in for his side. A team player to the end, the man from Manipur has been willing to do everything needed for the team to come out on top and the winger has always attempted to put his best foot forward.

The Blues began the new year with a 2-1 win over Sergio Lobera’s Men, with the aid of two Sunil Chhetri goals, and climbed up to the second place on the points table. The Bengaluru FC, only behind FC Goa in the points table, will next face Jamshedpur FC at the Kanteerava Stadium on January 9.

Ever since being introduced at the heart of the FC Goa defence, Carlos Peña has become one of the most integral parts of Sergio Lobera’s blueprint. The seasoned Spaniard has been the cornerstone of the Gaurs’ improvement at the back and he believes, after two seasons, the pressure is on Bengaluru.
