Asante Kotoko head coach Maxwell Konadu, says players will need up to six weeks to get back in shape should 2019/20 Ghana Premier League restart.
The 2019/20 season has been suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic which has rendered players inactive and rusty due to the absence of competitive matches.
The current extension on the ban on sporting activities especially football till July 31 has placed the restart of the 2019/20 season in limbo with some stakeholders calling for the cancellation of the league.
The GFA was hoping to end the current season in July and restart the new season in September in order to synchronize with the European calendar.
With the current football season still on hold, Maxwell Konadu says players will need up to six weeks of training should the season restart, “We will need about six weeks to get the players back in shape. We have to train, play some friendly matches and be ready for the league”
Hearts of Oak coach Edward Nii Odoom also seconded Maxwell Konadu’s view on players needing at least six weeks of training.
“Yes we will need up to six weeks to train and I agree with Maxwell. We have to prepare them psychologically, mentally and physically and this also requires time”.
The Ghana Football Association is still engaging its stakeholders on the future of the 2019/20 football season to decide whether to truncate or continue with the season.
