Mohun Bagan Super Giant head coach Juan Ferrando said the All India Football Federation suppressed facts by under-reporting the injury of its key midfielder Ashique Kuruniyan. According to the club, the winger suffered a hamstring tear and is likely to miss the first few matches in the AFC Cup and ISL.
“The Federation (AIFF) reported Ashique’s injury as a knock, but now we can see that it is not and is something serious. He will be undergoing more scans and tests and then we will be in a position to make a decision,” Ferrando said during the ISL media-day interaction on Wednesday.
