Goa, March 6: Jamshedpur FC's Mohammad Mobashir Rahman to miss the ISL 2021-22 League Shield decider after the All India Football Federation (AIFF) Disciplinary Committee on Sunday (March 6) announced a two-match suspension for the midfielder.

Apart from the two-match ban, the AIFF fined Mobashir Rs. 1.5 Lacs after he was found guilty of 'violent conduct' in Jamshedpur's match against Hyderabad FC on March 1.

The player has already served an automatic one-match ban in Jamshedpur FC's previous match against Odisha FC on March 4 and will need to serve a ban for one more match which happens to be a crucial tie.

As per the official statement, Mobashir is ineligible for selection in the League Shield deciding match between Jamshedpur FC and ATK Mohun Bagan on Monday (March 7).

Here is the complete statement from ISL: "The All India Football Federation (AIFF) Disciplinary Committee has served a two-match suspension to Jamshedpur FC's Mohammad Mobashir Rahman and fined him Rs. 1.5 Lacs after being found guilty of 'violent conduct' in their 2021-22 Hero Indian Super League (ISL) match against Hyderabad FC.

First-placed Jamshedpur, who are on 40 points from 19 matches, and third-placed ATK Mohun Bagan, who are on 37 points from 19 matches, are assured of semifinal spot.

On Monday (March 7), the two teams will battle for the top spot in their last league stage match. ATK Mohun Bagan can go level on points with Jamshedpur with a victory.
