Asamoah Gyan set for action as NorthEast United takes on Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Croatian coach Robert Jarni would be pleased should Gyan make it into the matchday squad after picking up an injury before the international break.
"Three points against Mumbai is very important. There are no injuries, but Kai (Heerings) will be missing. We will play like we usually do, and we are up against a very good team. So, we can't take them lightly," said Jamil.
The 34-year-old who joined the highlanders at the beginning of the season and has been credited for the team’s transformation this season having scored two goals in four matches to help his club amass eight points.
They had the same points tally after four games last season and were reeling after a heavy defeat to FC Goa. But they went on a nine-game unbeaten run after that result and Costa will hope for a similar response.
"We have started exactly like last year. Last season in the first four games we had four points. We started well and then we had some problems. I have full confidence in my players. They know what they have to do, and I know what I have to do. We have an important game and we want to get three points," Costa said.
