Controversy continued to haunt East Bengal ahead of its crucial I League clash against defending champions Bengaluru FC. Coach Trevor Morgan in an unprofessional act forgot to inform all his registered players who are likely to feature in the match tomorrow about the practice venue.
Jackiechand Singh, who was part of the 18 players registered for the tie did not turn up for the practice at Barasat stadium, as he was not informed about the venue. The gaffer accepted his mistake at the pre-match press conference.
“It was my fault. I did not inform him (Jackichand) to come for practice, as I thought he was among those players, who will not feature in tomorrow’s match. I will impose a fine on myself for the mistake.”
Another footballer Md Rafique went to Central Park instead of going to Barasat Stadium. On being asked about the incident, a visibly upset East Bengal coach could not hide his frustration.
“David Lalrinmuana and Md Rafique were also among the absentee. David was not present for some family problems and Rafique went to Central Park as he thought the practice was at Central Park.”
