The Elche squad and first-team coaching personnel announced on Wednesday they would not take part in any public club activity or press conference due to the club's reported failure to pay their wages for the past two months.
A deadline for the club to reach a reported $7.08 million in payments demanded by the league (LFP) and the Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) - the players' union - passed on Tuesday.
And the first-team squad, along with their coaching staff, released a statement on the official Elche website www.elchecf.es on Wednesday, which read: "The players and members of the technical staff of the first-team squad of Elche CF wish to publicly state that as of today (Wednesday) and until the institutional situation of the club is resolved, players and staff will not participate in any public event, press conference or any other act that comprises institutional representation of Elche CF."
If the Spanish club fails to keep up its debt repayments, it is reported it could risk facing a transfer embargo over the northern summer.
Elche sits 15th in La Liga, just two points above the relegation zone.
