In the 38th minute, Kattimani was forced to be replaced as Hyderbad FC went on to win the game by a lone goal.

With four clean sheets in six games, the shot-stopper has been key to Hyderabad FC's journey to the top of the table. Anuj Kumar and Gurmeet Singh would now be the team's mainstays, but it would be difficult for the defending champions to replace one of their longest-tenured players, who was a key component in their championship victory last season.

In their upcoming game, Hyderabad FC will take on ATK Mohun Bagan on Sunday in matchweek 8 of the ISL 2022-2023 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharti Krirangan in Kolkata. (ANI)
