Bendel Insurance head coach, Monday Odigie has said the departure of some key players is affecting the team’s performance this season.
The Benin Arsenals were held to a 0-0 draw by Akwa United at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Saturday.
Odigie said the team is currently going through a rebuilding process.
He assured that the coaching crew will continue to work hard to get the best out of the players.
“We played in the continent and immediately we started the league. We had no time to prepare adequately for the NPFL,” he stated during a post match interview.
“Bendel Insurance lost players in the process and every team that is going through a rebuilding process this is the type of results you will see.
“The league is a long way to go we will take games as they come and we will continue to work on the players.”
