East Bengal players, official asked to 'vacate' flats

Some East Bengal players, including foreign recruits, and physical trainer Carlos Nodar, who are still stuck here amid the coronavirus-forced national lockdown, have been asked to "vacate their flats" provided by sponsors Quess Corp.

Most of East Bengal's foreign players have left home but a few are still here along with the Spaniard Nodar who had preferred to stay back.

"This is the worst thing to happen. Where will we go now especially when there's nationwide lockdown in force," a player told PTI, confirming the development.

"There is no way we can vacate at this point of time but the management is just ignoring our calls. Let's wait and watch."
