This season has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride for Harmanjot Khabra, the defender for East Bengal FC. While he’s been a part of the squad, he hasn’t seen a whole lot of action on the pitch. Let’s delve into his stats and see where he stands in the team’s plans.
Khabra has only made nine appearances for East Bengal FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) this season. That might not sound like much, and that’s because it’s not! Out of the 19 games East Bengal FC has played, Khabra has only been on the field for 509 minutes, which is less than a third of the total playing time. This suggests that he’s not a regular starter.
He has started in seven of these appearances, but he’s also come on as a substitute twice. His most recent appearance was on March 10th in a game against Mohun Bagan Super Giant, where he only played one minute. East Bengal FC unfortunately lost that match 3-1. Khabra has picked up one yellow card in the season, which is a good sign that he’s trying to be aggressive defensively but he needs to be careful not to get too many of those.
Khabra’s Journey with East Bengal FC
East Bengal FC currently sits in 10th place in the ISL standings with 18 points. They have a tough match coming up against Kerala Blasters FC on April 3rd. It’s interesting to note that Khabra was actually with Kerala Blasters FC last season, and he even scored a goal and provided an assist in the seven games he played for them.
Khabra joined East Bengal FC in June 2023 after his time with Kerala Blasters FC. He has a decent history with the club, having played 26 league games for them, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
Khabra’s Impact on East Bengal FC: A Look at the Future
While Khabra’s playing time at East Bengal FC has been limited, it’s important to remember that he has experience and talent. It’s always possible that he could have a bigger role in the team’s plans in the future. He has shown that he can be a valuable asset on the field, and it will be interesting to see if he can get more opportunities to prove himself.
He has the skills and experience to contribute more to East Bengal FC. It’s only a matter of time before he gets his chance. Let’s hope he gets more minutes and helps the team climb the ISL standings.
