Mehrajuddin Wadoo

The 32-year-old veteran is back for a second season stint with the defending champions with a bag full of experience. In terms of ISL season, he was part of FC Pune City in the first season and played 10 matches. He then played for Bharat FC in the 2014-15 season, playing a total of 11 matches and scored one goal. He featured for CFC in almost all the matches last season and played an integral part for them.

But after his stint last season, he hasn't been active regularly but that does not rule him out on playing an important player for the defending champions. His timely gauged sliding tackles have worked very well for the team and being a centre back that one timely tackle to pull off the ball from strikers feet makes a huge difference.

Having played under Materazzi earlier, he too will be familiar with the conditions and the team.
