confirmed by Eelco Schattorie ( Kerala blasters Coach).

He said ogbeche is completley fit to start the next match

“We are four times unbeaten (draws). Last three games, we built confidence in the way we scored. I took a big risk today by putting Mario (Arques) in the midfield. It is a matter of growing into the (system). Cido (Sergio Cidoncha) played with tape last game, I am afraid he will miss the next game. Bart (Ogbeche) will be back for the next game.”

Elco was not very happy about the team performance from the last game first half.
"First half, I was not happy, we lost too many balls. Second half was a bit better. I don't think Jamshedpur had many chances. We were prepared for the long ball game. Not sure if it was a penalty, I have to see it back."

Also Schattorie prasied Sahal Abdul sammed about his last game performance. Seems like coach was very happy on his second half performace. Messi had scored first goal from Sahal's well placed cross.
