AFC Cup: ATK Mohun Bagan defender Tiri RULED OUT for 7-8 weeks with ACL tear
Tiri sustained the injury during a tackle with Gokulam Kerala forward Luka Majcen inside the box and looked in extreme pain. He had to be stretchered out in the 39th minute.
“He has suffered an ACL tear that will take at least seven to eight weeks to recover,” an ATKMB official said here.
Juan Ferrando brought in Ashutosh Mehta to play in the crucial position after Tiri pulled out as the Mariners defence crumbled in the second-half, letting in four goals to cut a sorry figure.
