An upbeat Chennayin FC will take on injury-plagued NorthEast United FC in the last quarterfinal of the Hero Super Cup 2019 at the Kalinga Stadium here Sunday.

Talking about his side's preparation for Sunday's clash, Chennaiyin head coach John Gregory said: "We have obviously been travelling. We have had one day to recover from the AFC Cup game. But our focus is now the game against NorthEast. The boys are ready and all of them are raring to go.

"I've got a fit squad which has always been a benefit for me. I've got everybody to choose from. We've got no real injury doubts. It's brilliant to have Dhanpal Ganesh back after missing the Hero ISL season. To have him back at such a crucial time is a real pleasure."
"But we now move to the Hero Super Cup. We are confident after having beaten Mumbai City FC in the previous round but they are the favourites."
"This was one area we didn't do well in. Jeje (Lalpekhlua) has scored two in his last two appearances. CK Vineeth scored a couple of goals since he's been with us. They need a bit of time playing together."
