Despite that, Bengaluru FC coach Albert Roca is searching for another striker to take the workload off Miku and Chhetri, given that Bengaluru FC are in the middle of a busy couple of months, given their commitments as well.

The Blues can sign a replacement for Nobrega until February 15th, which is when the 's transfer window officially shuts.

After Bengaluru's 3-1 win away over , coach Roca signalled his intentions to bring in another striker.

"We are looking to replace him (Nobrega) and it is not easy as a lot of windows (in different countries) have already closed. We have until the 15th (of February) and let's see if we can sign someone," he revealed.

However, with windows in most other countries already shut, teams will be unable to bring in replacements and it might be difficult for Bengaluru to convince a team from allowing a player to leave.
