ISL: Liston Colaco, Akash Mishra suspended by AIFF disciplinary committee
Colaco of Mohun Bagan and Mishra of Mumbai City have been suspended for four and three matches each by the AIFF disciplinary committee.
Liston Colaco of Mohun Bagan SG was sent off in the ISL game against Mumbai City FC.
The AIFF disciplinary committee suspended Liston Colaco, the Mohun Bagan forward, for four matches in the aftermath of Mohun Bagan's intense Indian Super League (ISL) clash against Mumbai City FC where seven players were sent off.
Mumbai City FC defender Akash Mishra and captain Greg Stewart have also been suspended for three matches each, as the remaining players, who were shown the red cards in the match, have been suspended for a match each.
However, Colaco, Mishra and Stewart have the option to appeal their suspensions, introducing the possibility of adjustments in the duration of their bans.
This suspension by the AIFF left Mohun Bagan and Mumbai City FC in a fix as they now have the option to adjust their playing XI for the coming matches.
Colaco’s suspension came as a significant blow to Mohun Bagan’s attack, while Mishra’s suspension added defensive challenges for Mumbai City.
The suspension of key players raised questions about the conduct of play and players' behaviour in the ISL.
