ATK star Keane to go home for two weeks
Kolkata, Dec 21 (IANS) Defending champions ATK will be missing the services of star Irish striker Robbie Keane for the next two weeks, coach Teddy Sheringham confirmed on Thursday.
“He is going home for a couple of weeks, ya,” Sheringham told IANS on the sidelines of PGTI’s season-ending golf meet at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club (RCGC).
It remains to be seen whether Keane is available for selection against Delhi Dynamos at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan on Saturday.
After that, ATK take on FC Gon on December 31 at home followed by Bengaluru FC away on December 7.
Keane is yet to score a goal for the franchise but has been influential since taking to the field for the first time in Chennai, a match ATK won 3-2. Keane, a Tottenham Hotspur legend, could not play the opening few matches due to injury.
ATK are eighth on the points table with just five points from five matches.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
