Nesta will be replacing Colombian striker John Mendoza, who injured his hamstring in the ninth round tie against FC Pune City. After undergoing a scan, it was revealed that the striker has been ruled out of the competition and as a consequence, the club requested to sign a replacement before the 10th round of the competition, as stipulated by the organisers. The 22-year-old returned to Colombia to recover from his injury.
