Yet another controversy involving Atletico de Kolkata sensation Fikru, which includes coach Antonio Habas. Before a crucial semi-final match, Antonio Habas informed the media that Firku will not be a part of the match against FC Goa and the Ethiopian striker had to sit out for the match and had to watch it from the stands along with the spectators.

The alleged fall out happened when Fikru apparently pushed one of the Atletico de Kolkata players on the field. Even though Habas didn't openly criticize Fikru, this incident is possibly the cause of the fallout. In the finals also, Habas stood by his decision once again by excluding Fikru from the match.
