Cape Town - A rift is developing at Platinum Stars between coach Allan Freese and one of his senior players, Benson Mhlongo, a report on the SPORT LIVE website indicates.
Other senior players are reportedly unhappy with the situation, and have insisted on a meeting with club management.
It is alleged the defender and coach disagree on certain aspects of his coaching method, which resulted in Mhlongo missing three PSL matches - against Maritzburg United, Moroka Swallows and Bloemfontein Celtic.
Mhlongo is also not in the Dikwena squad Wednesday's away game against Wits (19:30 kick-off).
Both Freese and Mhlonga have denied the rift, citing tiredness as the reason he was omitted.
Stars are currently 9th on the overall PSL log.
