Kerala Blasters are gearing up for the new season.

Kerala Blasters kick off their pre-season preparations for the 2024-25 season in Thailand. The squad has arrived in Chonburi, setting up camp at the Pattana Sports Complex. This marks the first opportunity for new Head Coach Mikael Stahre and his staff to take charge, with training sessions starting today.

Fans will be excited to see some familiar faces returning from injury. Defender Aiban Dohling and forward Kwame Peprah are back in training after missing the end of last season.

Goalkeeping coach Slaven Progvecki will also be getting a first look at new signings Som Kumar and Nora Fernandes, who join Md. Arbaz (now in his second preseason) for competition in goal. Sachin Suresh continues his rehab in Kochi but is expected to rejoin the squad later.
