Darling of the Mariners, Jose Ramirez Barreto's injury has forced himself to be out of the IFA Shield action.
Barreto had picked this calf-muscle injury on his right leg while he was in Brazil. At Kalimpong, during the pre-season he felt the pain again, didn’t want to aggrevate the injury, and refrained himself from practicing.
Coach Kareem does not want to take risk right at the start of the season and wants Barreto to take proper medical attention so that he will be fully fit for the long and exhaustive I-League.
Barreto returns to Calcutta today. He will go through a thorough medical test including few physiotherapy sessions.
Barreto is visibly upset about the entire incident, but he vouches that he will be back in action at the earliest for the sake of the team.
