The COVID outbreak in the ATK Mohun Bagan (ATKMB) camp has caused a break in momentum for the side. As a result, its scheduled Indian Super League (ISL) 2021-22 match on Saturday against former champion Bengaluru FC (BFC) has been postponed. It is the second straight game for ATKMB that has been delayed, as its match against Odisha FC (OFC) is also to be rescheduled.

"Each match is assessed on a number of factors, including the ability of the clubs to field a team; the severity of Covid-19 breakout at the club(s); and the ability of the club personnel to safely prepare for and play the match. The health and safety of all personnel in various bubbles remain our priority, and the League & Clubs will continue to monitor the situation and act accordingly," said ISL in a media statement.
