He was a part of history when ATK (then Atletico de Kolkata) clinched the inaugural Indian Super League (ISL) title in 2014. But six years down the line, footballer Biswajit Saha is struggling to make ends meet with his fast food joint close to shutting shop in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Without a club since 2018 when a severe hamstring injury ruled him out of Mumbai City FC's ISL campaign, left-back Saha has been plotting a return to the sport.

But since it was taking time, the defender, 34, had opened a fast food joint with his brother near his home in Bandel in Hooghly district of West Bengal. "I did not play professional football after 2018. I was in Valencia [Spain] with the Mumbai City FC team for pre-season training, where I got injured. "We were supposed to return to Mumbai the next day, but I got injured the day before," said Saha.
