In the second match of the 131st edition of the Durand Cup, ISL 2021-22 Shield winners Jamshedpur FC will square off against fellow ISL club Bengaluru FC on Wednesday, August 17.
The Jamshedpur side have decided to go with their reserve side in this tournament with the aim of giving their younger players a much-needed game time. The side will be guided by Carlos Santamarina, head coach of the TATA Football Academy (TFA).
Bengaluru, on the other hand, are fielding their senior side with as many as eight new signings. The team will be led by Indian skipper Sunil Chhetri, with the likes of Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, Prabir Das, Sandesh Jhingan, Udanta Singh and Roy Krishna all being part of the side.
The two teams are part of Group A, which consists of FC Goa, Mohammedan SC, and the Indian Air Force side.
Speaking ahead of the fixture on naming a second string side, Santamarina, the man tasked with the job of guing the young Men of Steel, said:
"The tournament will provide a fantastic platform for the players to know where they stand and gain competitive minutes as they play to try and win."
