The rescheduled I-League Derby between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal will be played at the Salt Lake Stadium on January 19.

According to sources, East Bengal, who are hosting Gokulam Kerala FC on January 15, were not happy with the rescheduling and wanted more time. But the AIFF refused to budge.

The match, scheduled for Sunday, was postponed after Bagan were not game for reduction in the number of saleable tickets as requested by the Bidhannagar Commissionerate who are in-charge of security of the stadium.

There will be a fixture re-jigging now. Bagan’s match against Neroca FC in Imphal on January 17 will be postponed. East Bengal have a home match on January 21 and according to a source that has been pushed to February.

Meanwhile, Mohun Bagan midfielder Julen Colinas has been ruled out of I-League afters tests revealed a ligament tear in the left knee.

Rs 1 lakh fine

East Bengal’s Jaime Santos has been allowed to go with a fine by the AIFF disciplinary committee. This means Jaime is now eligible to play the match at Churchill Brothers on January 4.

The AIFF disciplinary committee slapped Jaime with a showcause notice as well as an interim suspension after he was alleged to have kicked a ball boy with the ball after the match against Punjab FC, held in Ludhiana on December 7.

“Since the ball didn’t hit the ball boy, we decided to just slap him with a Rs 1-lakh fine. He will also have to send an apology letter to the ball boy,” committee chairman Ushanath Banerjee said on Friday.

“We have also given a warning to Punjab FC and referee Umesha Bora.”

Meanwhile Real Kashmir FC’s Mohammed Abdul Salam has been suspended for one year for submitting a forged birth certificate.
