Nigerian team captain and defender William Troost-Ekong, who plays for Saudi s🥀ide Al Hilal posted the following message on social media:

Lybian government rescinded our approved landing in Benghazi with no reason. They’ve locked the airport gates and left us without phone connection, food or drink. All to play mind games.
