United SC player under scanner

Chirag United SC’s central defender Lewis Iwami came under the scanner after his team lost 1-2 to George Telegraph in a CFL Premier Division match at Howrah Stadium on Saturday. The team’s think tank felt that the performance of the Nigerian, who had been a pillar of strength thus far, had fallen unexpectedly on Saturday. “Nothing can be proved against him, but everyone felt that his performance was well below par… We will discuss the issue with the chairman and decide whether to take any step against him,” said a United official.
