The Muktijoddha player sat out the first leg of the B. League due to a knee injury that aggravated during training.

"As I feel that most of the league would be finished before I get fully fit, I chose not to play and give my team the chance to register an extra goalie," Aminul told last night.

"I was cured after the surgery in Mumbai but I feel that I stressed too much during the pre-season training in a bid to speed up my recovery and aggravated the injury.

"Now I am preparing myself for the next season," said Aminul, who also suffered long injuries in the past but always returned with sharpened skill that makes him the most wanted shot-stopper in the country.

Muktijoddha registered young Nur Alam as their second reserve keeper after now first-choice Titumir, who has been standing under the bar since the start of the season, and Himel.
