"I cannot say about the ban and whether it would be reduced but it will not affect Mohun Bagan's performance. I have trust on my support staff. I am sure that they will manage the situation with ease," Sen said.
Sen has been banned for eight matches and slapped a Rs 8 lakh fine for his outburst against the AIFF.
Sen will not be available for Mohun Bagan's remaining six I-League matches as well as two in the Federation Cup but he can officiate in their away AFC Cup match against South China AA March 9 at the Mongkok Stadium, Hong Kong.
"I have seen some clippings of them. They have a good speed. We have to be very cautious," he said.
The Mariners will leave for Hong Kong late in the night.
The Squad: Debjit Majumdar, Shilton Paul, Kinshuk Debnath, Bikramjit Singh, Kean Lewis, Katsumi Yusa, Pritam Kotal, Cornell Glen, Sanjay Balmuchu, Souvik Chakraborty, Shouvik Ghosh, Prabir Das, Lenny Rodrigues, Sony Norde, Luciano Sobrosa, Pronay Halder, Jeje Lalpekhlua, Abhishek Das.
