Mumbai City FC defender Amey Ranawade suffered a concussion in the first half of the Indian Super League (ISL 2020-21) final against ATK Mohun Bagan and had to be taken to the hospital in an abulance.

"Amey suffered a concussion during the first half of this evening’s match. He was given immediate medical treatment on the pitch and transferred directly to hospital for a full assessment," MCFC posted on update on the right-back.

"We are very pleased to report that he is completely stable and his scan results were all normal. He is being kept under observation and all of us are wishing for a speedy recovery."

 

The incident occurred in added time when Ranawade put in a sliding tackle to win the ball off ATK Mohun Bagan's Subhasish Bose. The two collided in the process with the Mumbai man coming off worse.
