ISL had already postponed some games including ATK Mohun Bagan’s match against Bengaluru FC on Saturday, hours before the start. This was ATKMB’s second successive match to be postponed.
Earlier, their match against Odisha FC was postponed after an unnamed player reported positive for COVID-19.
As many as four ATKMB players in the bio-secure bubble had been reported to be positive and the Juan Ferrando-coached side had been locked in their rooms for one week without a single training session.
Players of other teams including FC Goa, Bengaluru FC and Odisha FC also contracted the coronavirus, while SC East Bengal too isolated themselves after their hotel staff inside the bio bubble found positive.
