Diego Forlan&rsquo;s absence could prove to be the biggest handicap for Mumbai City FC as they seek to overturn their first-leg semi-final defeat against Atletico de Kolkata in the Indian Super League at Mumbai Football Arena today.
Mumbai City lost the first leg 2-3. The Uruguayan striker was sent off in the first-leg with two yellow cards and will sit out of the all-important return clash. Four of Forlan&rsquo;s five goals have come at Mumbai Football Arena and Mumbai City FC have not won a single game when Forlan has sat out, including a 1-1 draw against Atletico de Kolkata in Mumbai.
It is not just Forlan&rsquo;s form infront of goal that Mumbai will miss. The Uruguayan is dangerous with set pieces &mdash; both goals in the first leg came from Forlan in set-pieces.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s difficult for me to predict now whether we will suffer in Diego's absence. After the game we can talk about that. In the games that he didn&rsquo;t play, like against ATK, we performed well. The one who is going to play in Diego&rsquo;s spot, I don&rsquo;t have any doubt that he will do the best to help us get through (to the final),&rdquo; said coach Alexandre Guimaraes.
