INDIAN ACES: CFC kept the core & added slight improvements to their Indian contingent

DEFENDING CHAMPIONS Chennaiyin FC will look to continue their dominance as they kick-off their campaign in the third edition of ISL against Atletico de Kolkata on Sunday. Chennaiyin might miss the combo of Elano and Mendosa in their category of foreign players but as far as the Indian footballers go, they have retained their core stars.

Like most of the teams in ISL this year, CFC too will be dependent on the services of the familiar Indian players who have the experience of playing in the league.

Without the likes of their goal-scoring duo from last season, Materazzi will have to use the Indian players very precisely in their respective positions.

Now, let's take a look at their Indian talent, most of whom were part of the team that won the title last season. They look strong and raring to go defend their title.
