Rostov players refuse to train over unpaid wages

Rostov's squad told club management they will not train until a new coach is appointed or Jonathan Alba is reinstated, and complained about unpaid July and August salaries. They were promised payment by 30 September.

What it means

• Players demand Alba's return after his mutual-termination exit as head coach
• Wages for part of July and August unpaid; sports director Andrey Rudakov promised settlement by 30 September
• At least Friday's training was cancelled as no one is currently coaching the team

Model read

A squad in open conflict with the board and refusing to train is a major destabilising factor for Rostov's upcoming match, leaving preparation disrupted and effort/selection uncertain.
