New Edubiase's financial crisis deepened after players slept in a dilapidated classroom during their Premier League defeat at Medeama on Sunday, GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal.

Edubiase, who are in serious financial quagmire, could not afford a hotel and had to sleep in the Roman Catholic school classroom, near the Tarkwa and Aboso Park on Saturday.

The crisis in the club has escalated amid widespread fear the struggling side will suffer relegation this season.

Players are owed salaries and bonuses running into several months, forcing the club to withdraw from the league on Friday.

The Bekwai-based side only backtracked 24 hours before the clash as they made the trip to Tarkwa to face Medeama.

Bankruptcy is on the horizon for Abdul Salam Yakubu's side as the struggle to pay off staff.

The Movers suffered a 2-0 defeat at Medeama to remain rock-bottom in the Ghanaian top-flight this season.
