Mohun Bagan SG coach on squad composition
Gaffer Bastab Roy said, “Mohun Bagan is currently leading the CFL points table. Big tournaments like the AFC Cup are knocking on the door. The senior team has started their practice just a few days back but the junior team has been practicing for a long time and have already played five CFL matches so far, so it has been decided that in the Durand Cup it will be a combination of senior and junior team."
