St Francis D'Assisi B's (Borivli) Aman Joshi was left without any medical attention after severely hurting his hand during a Mumbai Schools Sports (MSSA)-organised U-16 Division III encounter against Sacred Heart (Santacruz). Aman collided with a player from the opposition, but was unattended to for at least 25 minutes.

St. Francis D' Assisi coach Lanster Fernandes told mid-day: "Aman was given only ice and spray to apply. After the injury on his wrist, he could not play further. No doctor or physio was present at the ground. When we spoke to Aman's parents, they said they would take care of him so we dropped him home."
