ISL 2021-22: Hyderabad FC vs Jamshedpur FC match postponed

The
decision
was
taken
in
consultation
with
the
tournament’s
medical
team
taking
into
account
the
inability
of
Jamshedpur
FC
to
field
a
team.
Just
hours
before
the
kick-off,
the
decision
was
made
to
postpone
today’s
fixture
and
ISL
sent
an
update
via
mail
to
announce
the
news.

“The
League
will
look
to
rearrange
the
fixture
to
a
later
date.
The
health
and
safety
of
all
personnel
in
various
bubbles
remains
our
priority,
and
the
League
&
Clubs
will
continue
to
monitor
the
situation
and
act
accordingly,”
said
an
ISL
release.

This
is
the
fourth
postponement
of
the
season
after
ATK
Mohun
Bagan
had
two
of
their
fixtures
moved
earlier
in
the
season.
Earlier
on
Sunday
(January
16),
the
league
match
between
Kerala
Blasters
and
Mumbai
City
FC
was
also
postponed.

Bolstered
by
the
arrival
of
Daniel
Chima
Chukwu
in
their
already
lethal
attacking
arsenal,
Jamshedpur
were
looking
to
continue
snapping
at
Kerala
Blasters’ heels
at
the
top
of
the
table
with
a
win
over
Hyderabad.

Jamshedpur
placed
second
in
the
points
table
with
19
in
their
kitty
from
11
games,
added
striker
Chima
to
their
ranks
on
Saturday.
The
Nigerian
moved
to
Jamshedpur
from
SC
East
Bengal
where
he
scored
two
goals.

In
their
previous
game
against
SC
East
Bengal,
Jamshedpur
had
to
dig
deep
to
get
past
the
wooden
spooners
as
Ishan
Pandita
once
again
came
off
the
bench
to
score
the
winner.
Coach
Owen
Coyle’s
side
has
looked
like
a
well-oiled
machine
and
Greg
Stewart
has
been
magical
for
the
team.
The
Scotsman,
Stewart,
can
find
a
good
foil
in
box
striker
Chima
in
the
days
to
come
with
the
Nigerian.

Hyderabad
coach
Manolo
Marquez
would
be
hoping
his
team
can
get
back
to
winning
ways
in
the
upcoming
game
as
their
winless
spell
has
been
of
three
games.
The
Nizams
missed
talisman
Bartholomew
Ogbeche
in
the
last
outing
due
to
suspension
and
Javier
Siverio
also
scoring
goals.
