“It is going to be difficult for them to stay in shape right now, some might come back overweight,” Mokoena told Phakaaathi. “What players need to do some is really to try and work out as much as possible to avoid gaining weight and being rusty when the season starts again. Use the backyard or garden as the gym do whatever you can to work out.
“And mentally this is going to be challenging for many on the as well because they now have to train in new environment in a different way, so they need to think about it as pre-season. You are in pre-season and the season will resume soon so you need to get in shape. Kick the ball around run fast from one point to the other to burn fat. Work with what you have.”
