Buteme hits out at Ugandan clubs for poor conditioning during congested fixtures

Express FC strengthening and conditioning expert Hellen Buteme has pointed out the players are being negatively impacted by the number of games they are playing in a short period of time.

The Ugandan Premier League and the Uganda Cup competitions are ongoing and with the season set to end at a specified time, players have been subjected to playing about three or at least two games a week. The trainer points out this has led to several injuries because every team is also targeting a positive outcome consistently.

"It is always difficult when you have two competitions running at the same time; there is the Uganda Cup and the league," Buteme said.
