The management Enugu Rangers in a statement confirmed the involvement of some of their players in a fatal accident while traveling for the ten-days break.
The statement said: "According to scetchy information available to the management, our attacking sensation, Ifeanyi George who was in his vehicle driven by his friend including a B team player, had the vehicle smashed into a parked articulated vehicle along Onitsha-Agbor-Benin road, Sunday morning.
