Wigan Athletic players are growing increasingly frustrated and angry with the club, with May wages still to be paid, BBC Radio Manchester report.

Only a handful of squad members still under contract have been paid salaries while others are yet to be paid.

The remaining wages were due to be paid by Tuesday, however a further deadline of 17:30 BST on Thursday has passed.

The Latics were deducted three points in March for paying players late three previous times in the 2022-23 campaign.

The Professional Footballers Association has stepped in to assist the players with the club yet to comment when asked by BBC Radio Manchester.

A club statement released last week said chairman Talal Al Hammad had on Friday paid 'as many employees as possible within the organisation with the resources available'.

More delays a couple of months ago meant further charges were brought against the club for a breach of requirements set by the English Football League.

Players were given Saturday off from training before the team's final game of the season on Monday at home to Rotherham.
