In what’s now a back and forth between player and club, SD Huesca has reacted to the allegations made by Kelechi Nwakali..

Nwakali in a statement on Wednesday accused the club of treating him shabbily over his insistence on going to the 2021 African Cup of Nations.

The former Arsenal midfielder said the club deemed the AFCON as unimportant while he was punished for going despite their attempts to stop him.

Nwakali also accused the club of holding his salary back and stopping him from tending to his responsibilities.

He said he faced a tough time with the club and was treated differently and negatively..
