Sk Russel’s Kenyan coach in quarantine
Sheikh Russel goalkeeping coach Abdul Iddi Salim has been in quarantine for the past four days after arriving in Dhaka on Tuesday.
Salim left for Kenya on March 13 after his team's match against Sheikh Jamal and returned to Dhaka on March 17, a day ahead of Sheikh Russel's next match according to the revised fixtures of the Bangladesh Premier League. That game was later postponed till March 31 following government instructions to curb the spread of coronavirus.
"We have kept Salim in quarantine at an apartment because we didn't want to take any risk with the health of other players, who have been in training camp at Bashundhara residential area," Saleh Jaman Selim, director of sport at Sheikh Russel, told The Daily Star yesterday.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Russel recently served show-cause notices to three foreign players -- Nigeria's Raphael Odoyin and Udoko Alison, and Uzbekistan's Azizov Alisher -- for their poor performances. In reply, the trio,promised to raise their game in the coming days, Selim informed, adding that the team were suffering from injuries sidelined five or six players so their performances had deteriorated.
