Tangri
now
stands
eligible
for
selection
in
tonight’s
match
against
Chennaiyin
FC
at
the
same
venue.

Last
season’s
finalists
and
one
of
the
most-consistent
sides
in
Hero
ISL,
ATKMB
has
now
suffered
defeats
—
at
the
hands
of
Mumbai
City
FC
and
Jamshedpur
FC
—
in
their
previous
two
engagements
and
will
be
eyeing
redemption
in
the
game
against
Chennaiyin
FC.

Chennaiyin
are
placed
fourth
in
the
ISL
2021-22
points
table
with
seven
points
from
three
matches.

ATKMB
have
struggled
defensively,
conceding
nine
goals
in
their
four
ISL
games
this
season
and
will
be
looking
to
pull
things
back
quickly.
