Hearts of Oak spokesman Muheeb Saeed has confirmed that the club owe player salaries for three months.
Reports are rife that the players are planning a boycott of the CAF Confederation Cup return leg against Esperance in protest of their unpaid salaries.
The clubââ¬â¢s accountant Hackman Aidoo had earlier debunked reports of a simmering boycott by the players but spokesman Muheeb Saeed has confirmed the club owes the players.
ââ¬ÅIt is true Hearts owe player salaries for three months,â⬠he confirmed.
ââ¬ÅThe club also owes bonus for the qualification over Djoliba.ââ¬
Saeed however adds that the huge financial burden of their campaign in the CAF Confederation is the reason for the delayed salary payments.
ââ¬ÅThe financial requirements for the African campaign is so huge it has affected other operations of the club,â⬠he added.
