Stranded in India since March due to the coronvirus pandemic, Mohun Bagan's Senegalese striker Baba Diawara finally returned home on Sunday. Diawara had scored the I-League title-winning goal this season for Mohan Bagan.
The 32-year-old and his family left for Dakar via Dubai, the club said in a statement. "Besides the travel arrangements, the club also organised their Covid-19 test which is mandatory for travelling," it said.
Diawara said, "I am really grateful to the club for looking after me and my family during this tough time. I thank the entire management especially the bosses for overseeing my stay as well as arranging my travel."
