Colombian centre-back Oswaldo Henriquez looked set to be a Kerala Blasters player for the upcoming edition of the Indian Super League (ISL).
He had already signed a contract with the Kochi-based club. However, now the club management have been forced to seek a replacement after the player joined Bnei Sakhnin F.C. of Israel.
Goal understands that fears over the rising Covid-19 positive cases in the country forced Henriquez to prematurely end the contract and join the Israeli club.
Henriquez was keeping an eye on the Coronavirus situation in India, and the increasing number of cases forced him to seek an amicable termination of contract with Blasters.
