Eugen Gorceac, Vladimir Rassulov and Eugen Celeadnic were excluded from Speranta Crihana Veche for an indefinite period of time. The Cahul team’s administration argued that the three committed disciplinary deviations, IPN reports.

The atmosphere in the team became tenser after Speranta failed to present itself at the match against Dinamo-Auto, of the 14th stage of the National Division. The players protested thus against the salary arrears.

During training on November 14, Speranta sports director Iurie Friniuc told the players that they will receive their salaries before the match against Zimbru set for November 24.

If Speranta misses one more match until the end of the championship, it will be excluded from the National Division.

Speranta, which was recently taken over by former Dacia fullback Vitalie Mardari, is the last but one in the rankings with only 8 points after 15 stages played.
