The services of Vincent Enyeama are no more required by French club Lille, says new Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa.

The Nigerian goalkeeper and ten others were given the same message by Bielsa on Tuesday.

He and the other rejected players have been banned from joining Lille for pre-season training.

Enyeama had recently tweeted a picture of himself with some of the players Bielsa wants out of the team, saying, “Always a pleasure to be back with the team”.

Enyeama, who signed a new contract with Lille last season, has the option of leaving the club to search for greener pastures or stay out the remainder of the contract.

According to L’Equipe, the other players affected are Zambia’s Stoppila Sunzu, Tunisia’s Naim Sliti, Ivory Coast’s Junior Tallo, Montenegro’s Marko Basa, France duo of Rio Mavuba and Marvin Martin, Portuguese Eder Palmieri, Marko Basa, Éric Bauthéac and Lenny Nangis.
