LOW FITNESS LEVELS OF LOCALS WORRIES MABEDI

Flames coach, Patrick Mabedi, says much needs to be done in our local league as most players in the league have their fitness levels very low leading to failure to much on in 90 minutes.

He said this ahead of the team's match against Senegal at the Bingu National Stadium on Tuesday afternoon and said most goals which Senegal scored on Friday last week were because of tiredness of the players.

He said, "I think we have more to do in our league as many locals are struggling with fitness which is worrisome, you can see most goals were scored in 70 minutes when most players were tired and they failed to cover up the defense when Senegal attacked so it's because the levels are down."

Meanwhile, Mabedi highlighted the need to get a win in the match as most Malawians are not pleased with the team's Current results.

Flames anchor their group with no point from three games whereas Burkina Faso have already qualified with Senegal on second.
