Amit Rohidas, a key player for the Indian hockey team, has been suspended for one match by the FIH disciplinary committee. He received a red card during India’s quarterfinal match against Great Britain at the Paris Olympics. This suspension means he will miss the crucial semifinal match against Germany.
The news was confirmed by Hockey India (HI) president Dilip Tirkey, who also revealed that HI has appealed against the decision. They are hoping to overturn the suspension and have Rohidas available for the semifinal.
The suspension is a significant blow to India’s chances in the tournament. Rohidas is a vital part of the team’s defense and his absence could have a major impact on the outcome of the semifinal.
