Kolkata: East Bengal today showcaused their
Brazilian striker Edmilson Marques who had a spat with coach
Subhas Bhowmick that led to a scuffle with fellow player
Saumik Dey inside the dressing room.
Livid with Edmilson`s misconduct yesterday, East Bengal
have refrained him from joining practice and the Brazilian
will also be omitted from their Durand Cup squad.
"We have asked him to explain within 24 hours and he is
not allowed to join practice. Players have objected to his
presence in the practice so he will have to sit out. He will
also be excluded from the Durand Cup squad," East Bengal
football secretary Santosh Bhattacharya said.
Edmilson today turned up for the morning practice at the
club tent and remained on the bench.
The Brazilian was seen having a word with India captain
Bhaichung Bhutia, who had come to see the practice.
Bhutia, who has signed for East Bengal for the upcoming
season, is engaged in a row with Mohun Bagan.
An ugly incident occured between the coach and the player
after Edmilson was fouled by Bhowmick during a practice match.
He also reportedly beat up Saumik Dey in the dressing room.
"The incident on the field was something routine, but
what happened in the dressing room was totally uncalled for.
Everybody is livid about him. He has to explain and the bear
the consequences that will follow," Bhattacharya said.
East Bengal had a disastrous start to the season, crashing
out of IFA Shield after two consecutive losses.
