“Ekstein and Qalinge are still training with the reserve team,” said a source to KickOff.

“What happened with them is that they decided not to settle with the club despite not being in the club’s plans for the new season.

“It was then decided that since they still have running contracts, they will continue with the club but train with the reserve team which they are still doing up until now.

“It is known as yet if their situation will change before the close of the transfer window.”
