B. League To Resume On 31 May

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) yesterday confirmed that the second leg of the B.League will commence on May 31.

Muktijoddha host Chittagong Mohammedan in Dhaka in the opener while current leaders Mohammedan will be put to the test also in the opening round when the Dhaka giants face second-placed Sheikh Russel on June 3.

Mohammedan, who slumped to as low as ninth midway through the first leg, won their last five matches in a row to overtake contenders Russel, Abahani and Muktijoddha with 20 points before the mid-season transfer window.

Meanwhile, the two-week transfer window has yet to see any new registration.

Abahani are desperately searching foreign players after all their three Argentine booters left the camp. The sky-blues, who relieved Argentine coach Diego Cruciani, also released booters Mariano Sanchez and Hernan Parodi. They wanted to keep defender Mariano Caporale, who has also left for home to look after family affairs.

It was learned that Caporale has contacted Abahani and told the management that he will try his best to join before their first match on June 5.

Abahani have yet to confirm any other replacement.

The league is scheduled to end on July 23.
