According to the British media Daily Mail, Xie Wednesday was originally scheduled to play against Premier League promoted Burnley this weekend. However, after suffering wage arrears for the third straight month, the players have now decided to refuse to play in the originally planned closed-door game.
Xie will start their Championship journey on August 10 at Leicester City on Wednesday as planned, but there are concerns that the club may not be able to fulfill the schedule as scheduled.
people familiar with the matter insisted that despite Xie's growing situation on Wednesday, his goal was to play against Leicester City as scheduled.
Burnley had proposed to pay Xie's accommodation on Wednesday in good faith. However, sources revealed that due to four months of wages in the past five months, the players have decided not to take the away trip.
Earlier this week, coach Danny Roll left Shee Wednesday, and the club is currently under owner Dejipeng Chancili, who claims he is trying to sell the club.
This summer, many players have terminated their contracts with the consent of both parties, and many players whose contracts expired cannot renew their new contracts.
To make matters worse for Sheffield and its fan base, the Sheffield City Council determined this week that the North Stand, which can accommodate 9,000 people, was unsafe, and Xie will not be allowed to use it at home games as of now.
The FA declined to comment, but it is reported that league officials are "extremely concerned" about the development of the situation. They remain in close contact with club officials.
