FCSB have been dealt a major blow ahead of their Europa League play-off against Aberdeen tonight.
It has emerged that three of their players were ruled out of the huge tie at Pittodrie because they've not been granted work visas.
Risto Radunovic of Montenegro, South African centre-back Siyabonga Ngezana and Ghanaian midfielder Baba Alhassan were all held at Aberdeen airport.
A report in Romania claims they were kept there for four hours after travelling with the rest of their teammates.
When released, they remained under surveillance at the team hotel in the Granite City.
Journalist, Emanuel Rosu, claimed on X that a visa request was unsuccessful for the trio.
And so, they will play no part in tonight's first leg against the Scottish Premiership outfit.
A spokesperson for the British Embassy Bucharest said via Digi Sport : "The embassy has no role in the processing and granting of visas, which is solely in the hands of the Home Office.
"We cannot comment on what has happened in this particular case. All those wishing to enter the UK must comply with the Home Office's advice."
