Time and again, we've seen important players limp off in the ISL this season and tonight another crucial man felt the blow. Kerala's right back, Rino Anto who has been extremely influential for the Blasters this season, limped off the pitch in the 43rd minute.

Rino was at full speed when he made a crucial interception inside his own half. But it came at a price. He fell awkwardly and immediately went down, holding his right hamstring. It was not a great sight and Anto looked in extreme pain.

The defender has been a dependable figure in Kerala's back line this season and will be sorely missed. Here's hoping he returns at the earliest for the sake of the league. Anto has always given it his all on the pitch. Tonight, in his attempt to save his side from possibly a dangerous attack, he put his body on the line.
