Francis Fernandes lost his entire mojo after the title winning season. Besides losing his flair and finesse through the attacking flank of the right wing, he was told to operate at right-back when the Skipper Mailson Alves was struggling to find his form.

During the title winning season, Francis Fernandes' stats did not look bright, but his performances on the pitch did. He scored only one goal last term, but he was much more effective with the ball and without the ball to make things happen in the final third of the pitch.

The former Pune City winger is a dispensable player and the Blues will be looking to upgrade their attacking flank of the right wing. After starting eleven games in the Indian Super League, Francis has been rarely used in the Super Cup and AFC Cup.

CK Vineeth has occupied his place temporarily, but it remains to be seen if the club would be able to strike a permanent deal with Kerala Blasters for the forward. If the deal is completed, it would mark the end for Francis Fernandes.
