Why will Kerala Blasters' newest signing Dusan Lagator not play tonight against East Bengal?

Kerala Blasters will be without their newest signing Dusan Lagator
Kerala Blasters are riding a three-match unbeaten streak in the Indian Super League (ISL) under interim Head Coach T.G. Purushothaman and face a crucial test against East Bengal FC. A win is crucial for the Blasters to keep pace in the playoff race. With East Bengal struggling with injuries Kerala Blasters must capitalize on their current form and ruthlessly convert their chances. Anything less than a victory could significantly hamper their run in the playoffs race.
Kerala Blasters had recently strengthened their squad with the signing of versatile defender Dusan Lagator. A product of the Hungarian First Division, Lagator has a wealth of experience. He has not only competed at a high level domestically but has also played at the European stage, featuring in the UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds and the UEFA Conference League during the 2023-2024 season.

Beyond his club achievements, he has represented his nation, Montenegro, on the international stage, further solidifying his skills and experience. His ability to operate effectively as both a central defender and a defensive midfielder provides tactical flexibility to the Kerala Blasters squad.
Why will Dusan Lagator be unavailable for the match against East Bengal?
Unfortunately, Dusan Lagator, despite his impressive credentials, will not be available for selection in today’s match.
The Hungarian Football Federation yesterday informed the All India Football Federation (AIFF) that the Montenegrin defender is currently on a suspension that needs to be served and hence Dusan Lagator will not be available to play for the Tuskers tonight as they face The Red and Gold Brigade.
