Mehtab Hossain unlikely to make into East Bengal’s Federation Cup squad
“I don’t think Mehtab will be able to play in the Federation Cup. It’s imperative for a player to be match fit. So, in Mehtab’s case, his match fitness might be questioned even if he has recovered fully from the injury,” coach Armando Colaco told The Telegraph.
However should the Red and Gold make it into the knockout stages of the competition after being placed in arguably what can be termed as the group of death, Mehtab could be registered for the tournament if he regains his fitness by then.
“I feel he should be okay by then. There’s still some time to go though,” he said.
