Kerala Blasters FC have officially unveiled their squad for the upcoming Indian Super League season, signalling a renewed focus on balance, adaptability and sustainable squad planning.

The Kochi-based club has assembled a refreshed group that blends experienced domestic players, emerging Indian talent and carefully selected foreign signings aimed at strengthening key positions. The squad construction reflects an emphasis on continuity while introducing competition and tactical flexibility across departments.

Head coach David Catala will oversee a unit designed to evolve collectively over the course of the campaign. Several retained players have been complemented by targeted reinforcements, ensuring depth and versatility throughout the roster.

In goal, Sachin Suresh and Arsh Shaikh are expected to lead the goalkeeping department, supported by Alsabith Sulaiman, providing reliability and healthy competition. The defensive line is anchored by foreign centre-back Oumar Bah, alongside Indian U23 captain Bikash Yumngam, whose leadership is expected to offer stability while nurturing younger defenders.

The midfield unit features players such as Vibin Mohanan and Marlon Roos, who are likely to play pivotal roles in controlling tempo and linking phases of play. Their presence adds structure and balance in central areas. Up front, Spanish striker Victor Bertomeu and French winger Kevin Yoke are set to spearhead the attack, offering contrasting attributes and tactical options in the final third.

Overall, the squad reflects the club’s intent to remain competitive in the evolving Indian football landscape, while maintaining a strong emphasis on cohesion, internal development and strategic reinforcements.
