None of Enyimba's old players numbering about 20 will feature against Akwa United sources report.
Enyimba are expected to host the Promise Keepers in Sunday’s match day 1 clash of the Glo Premier League season at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba.
An influential player who pleaded anonymity said his teammates have decided to boycott the
season’s first match to protest non-payment of their sign on fee as well as match bonuses.
“We, the old players are on strike, we stopped training on Wednesday to protest management refusal to pay us the remainder of last season sign on fee as well as 15 match bonuses.
“We’ve decided to stay away from the encounter against Akwa United on Sunday in Aba.
“We chose this path to awaken the management to their responsibility to the players, we reasoned that if we didn’t insist on no pay no play the management won’t take us serious and will continue to treat us as fools.
“I can assure you that all the old players are united on this course and have resolved to remain steadfast until we receive 100% payment.
“Management promised to pay off the indebtedness before the continental game against the Beninese side, Buffles du Borgou.
Chairman of the club, Felix Anyansi-Agwu was not available for comment on the players position.
