ISL 2015: Dudu Omagbemi to replace injured Darryl Duffy

Dudu Omagbemi will look to be a pivotal part of FC Goa.

Panaji: FC Goa striker Darryl Duffy, who suffered a hair line fractured on his shin bone against Mumbai FC, will be replaced by Nigerian striker Dudu Omagbemi, an official of the FC Goa said.

The former Sporting Clube de Goa striker, who has the experience of playing in India, is expected to sign within a couple of days.

FC Goa have so far struggled to score goals in the first leg when chances came their way and are at present placed third with 11 points at the end of the first leg.

Earlier, Brazilian striker Rafael Coelho replaced injured Victor Simoes after he flew back to Brazil without playing a single match in the ongoing ISL.

Rafael, who arrived in Goa on October 29th, will play his first match against Chennaiyin FC tomorrow after completing his transfer from Buriram United in Thailand.

According to the ISL guidelines, an injured player can be replaced by another player before the start of the 10th round.​
