“The team is in camp right now preparing for the game against Caps United. Everything has been sorted out now and it’s up to the coach to select the players he wants to use for the game since some did not train for the better part of the week.

It is understood that Dynamos players are owed part of their salaries and winning bonuses from last season which they want settled before the season begins.
It has been reported that the players have been receiving half salaries since January last year and are owed over $2 500 each in winning bonuses.
