MSC face Mukti today

League committee revises fixture

Sports Reporter
The Citycell B. League resumes after the Eid vacation today with revised fixtures for the fourth
round matches, which will determine fate of some senior players.
Mohammedan play Muktijoddha in the first clash of heavyweights in this year's professional league which kicks off at 5pm at the Bangabandhu National Stadium while holders \bahani, instead of touring to Khulna to play their namesakes, will play hosts in the capital for the sake of the national team.
Mohammedan, who have rested for 18 days since their 3-0 win over Arambagh at the start of the second round, had a bye in the third round and should be fresh enough to go and add three points to theirpresent collection of four.
Bottom-table Muktijoddha have had the worst possible start, having lost all three matches after taking lead on two occasions but the struggling giants had good news before their match against this year's Federation Cup champions.
The Reds have received Tk ten
lakh as sponsorship money from Prime Bank, an amount that would perhaps take care of at least running the camp properly if not making payments to the players.
They have also in hand the international transfer certificate of Nigerian defender Davies Majemu, who could give Asgar Ali Nasir's side some solution to balance the wobbly backline.
It would also be a chance for skipper Feroz Mahmud Titu to play full 90 minutes for the first time in
the league and impress national coach Shafiqul Islam Manik.
However, Maruful Haque's Mohammedan -- with as many as eight national players and three foreigners in the side -- would pose a big threat for Muktijoddha to put and end to their losing streak.
Meanwhile, this would be the only domestic engagement for the national team players this month as Bangladesh participate in the Merdeka Cup in Malaysia from October 15-25.
Shafiqul Islam Manik will keenly watch the games and look for weaknesses in players before trimming the 28-member preliminary squad to the 20-member final squad on October 11.
Top players like Mohammed Sujan, Matiur Munna, Abul Hossain and Titu have been nursing injuries and a few others have been struggling for form to keep Manik waiting for the five matches in this round.
The B. League committee, which had a meeting last night, has also agreed to Manik's proposal of shifting Khulna Abahani's home match against Dhaka Abahani to Dhaka. Manik had made this request to save most of his national

players of defending champions Abahani from making long travels just before the trip to Malaysia.
The match will be held on October 10 at 4.30pm at the BNS before the Arambagh-Brothers match at 6.30pm.
In other fixtures, Mohammedan and Abahani of Chittagong host Rahmatganj and joint-leaders Sheikh Russel at the MA Aziz Stadium in the port city tomorrow and October 10 respectively. Both the matches in Chittagong will start from 3.30pm.
