Kerala Blasters FC goalkeeper will be out of action for an indefinite period after sustaining a knee injury in their last match against Odisha FC in their Hero Indian Super League (ISL). The custodian was replaced by Prabsukhan Singh Gill in the 76th minute in the previous game.

It was learnt that he suffered an injury on his already operated knee, which makes things more complicated for the goalkeeper. The club has informed that Gomes will be sent for a thorough examination and scan once the swelling subsides.

"Albino sustained an injury to his previously operated knee. At the moment, the severity and time loss is uncertain. He will be sent for a thorough examination and scan once the swelling subsides. The club extends its full support to Albino. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back,” read Kerala Blasters FC’s official statement.

Gomes made his Hero ISL debut in 2015 and has featured in each season since then, during which he has played for clubs like Mumbai City FC, Delhi Dynamos FC, Odisha FC, before joining the Blasters FC in 2020.

Kerala Blasters FC will be up against SC East Bengal in their next match at the Tilak Maidan, in Vasco, on Sunday evening.
