Kolkata: Trevor Morgan is all set to break the duck of Lajong on Sunday. Only once the two teams met in the Federation Cup in 2010 where East Bengal were emerged champions beating Lajong FC 3-0 in penalties.
East Bengal players were involved in a fight today at practice in Central Park. The incident occurred when Mehtab Hussain tackled Dika in the training today and they both came running towards each other and somehow Harmanjot Singh Khabra and other players came into the scene and released them.
This is not the first time such an incident happened amongst the players in East Bengal. Earlier, in 2011-12 season, Australian striker Tolgay Ozbey and defender Gurwinder Singh were involved in a same kind of incident. Co-incidentally Trevor Morgan was the coach then and now too.
Meanwhile, East Bengal will be leaving for Shillong tomorrow afternoon to play their first away tie of Federation Cup 2016 against Shillong Lajong FC scheduled to be held on Sunday. Trevor Morgan opted for a tricky training session which involved funny games just to keep the team in a happy mood ahead of the Federation Cup. The full squad tried to register themselves in the good book of Morgan.
East Bengal will be without the services of Bernard Mendy for the first leg while it is seemed that Cavin Lobo is uncertain for the whole tournament. Robert too is uncertain for the tie.
