From upcoming star to FC Goa's indispensable man - Brandon Fernandes' incredible rise in stature

The 2020-21 season has been a mixed bag for FC Goa star Brandon Fernandes. The attacker had started the season on a good note in the Indian Super League (ISL) but an injury midway into the campaign meant that it was a stop-start campaign personally for him.

Fernandes regularly played for the Gaurs in the first 12 matches of the season before picking up the injury against ATK Mohun Bagan. He had appeared as a late substitute in the second leg of their semifinal tie against Mumbai City. The Goan footballer managed to provide three assists this season in the ISL but he did not score any goal

The injury-laden campaign in the ISL resulted in Fernandes' not risked by including him in the Indian national team which travelled to Dubai in March to play two international friendly matches against Oman and UAE.
