The players boycotted training ahead of their FIFA World Cup qualifier play-off as they waited for the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to settle outstanding payments.
In a tweet, William Troost-Ekong clarified that the boycott was not about demanding any special bonuses, stressing that the players were simply asking for what is already owed to them.
“Once resolution is found, we will be the first to confirm. Any other statement/claim or especially demands other than the rightful request written about below is FALSE. All we want and continue to do is focus on the big games ahead,” he wrote.
