Mumbai City right-back Amey Ranawade was stable and under observation in a hospital after suffering a concussion during the side's victory in the Indian Super League (ISL) final on Saturday.

Mumbai, backed by the owners of English Premier League side Manchester City, captured their first title in the competition with a 2-1 win but had to endure anxious moments when Ranawade was injured in a clash with ATK Mohun Bagan's Subhasish Bose.

The defender was taken to a hospital after receiving treatment on the pitch and Mumbai later tweeted that he was "completely stable" and that his scan results were normal.
