This comes after the Mizoram player was taken into police custody for creating a ruckus on Saturday night. After his drinking session, Lalwampuia’s bike hit a car and the player got into a heated exchange thereafter.
The Kolkata club officials intervened and helped him out of the police station. The striker did report to the afternoon training session but was asked to leave but the club authorities.
Speaking to Goal.com, Mitra said, “He (Lalwampuia) is such a talented player but he has to mend his ways now. This isn’t the first time he is involved in such incidents. It tarnishes the reputation of our club especially at a time when we are doing so well.
“Whatever action has to be taken will be on Monday. We might even send him to a rehab centre. We are to speak to his parents and discuss his problem. Any harsh decision by us at this point of time would affect his playing career.”
Lalwampuia is known to report drunk at the training sessions, or get into arguments with his fellow team-mates. The striker has always been a trouble maker and which is one of the reasons why he has always remained a ‘player to watch’.
