The Italian Players' Association has threatened with general strike over Goran Pandev's deteriorating situation at SS Lazio.

The Macedonian has not played all season for his club after demanding a transfer in the summer. Clubs have not offered the 20 million euros Lazio was asking, because Pandev's contract ends in 2010.

“The AIC [Players’ Association] has called a state of emergency after the repeated postponement of a new judge for the Pandev case,” read a statement.

“President Sergio Campana, considering the lack of effort promised by Lega Calcio President Mario Beretta, lets it be known that if by November 23 there is no timetable laid out for the Pandev case, there will be an emergency meeting to decide on the best action to take.”

One of the options the Players’ Association is looking into is a general strike.

With Pandev's omission from the club, Lazio has brought itself near the relegation zone in Seria A, currently sitting at 15th place. Lazio has failed to win in 10 straight matches.
