ISL: Keane has not travelled with us: ATK assistant coach
Guwahati, Jan 11 (IANS) ATK’s marquee signing Irishman Robbie Keane has not travelled with the team to play against NorthEast United FC due to a knock he picked up during their previous game against Bengaluru FC, the football team’s assistant coach Bastob Roy said.
“We have one injury concern. Robbie is not travelling with the team. He picked up a knock against Bengaluru and we decided to rest him. We can not risk having him for one game but we want him fit for nine games,” Keane told reporters on the eve of the game at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, here.
Keane played full 90 minutes against BFC but failed to inspire the side to a win as they lost 0-1.
Recently, the Tottenham Hotspur legend was linked to a move back to boyhood club Wolverhampton Wanderers but it has been given to understand that he did not take the offer.
Keane has so far scored twice in four games for ATK in the Indian Super League (ISL) after returning from an achilles problem which kept him out of action till December.
ATK are languishing at eighth in the points table with just nine points in their bag from eight matches.
Meanwhile, coach Roy confirmed that Indian U-17 World Cup star Komal Thatal is practising with the team.
“Komal Thatal is practicing with us. We don’t know when he can play.”

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.
