“Unfortunately, he doesn’t fit in the team plan anymore,” said Salgaocar coach Derrick Pereira, stating that his off–the-field injuries may have affected his performance.

Pereira thanked Gnakpa for his contribution to the club and wished him a successful career ahead. Gnakpa scored two goals for Salgaocar in the I-League

Salgaocar will have three foreigners in their squad for their I-League encounter against Shillong Lajong FC tomorrow. But the question for a replacement remains.
