U20 Uganda head coach Morley Byekwaso has conceded his team is concentrating more on player fitness ahead of the Afcon U20 competition scheduled for February.
The Hippos qualified for the biennial competition after progressing to the U20 Cecafa Championship final; eventually winning it after a 4-1 victory over Tanzania. The tactician is now concerned with the level of fitness of his players, less than three weeks before the competition starts.
"We have so far prepared for three days and we have concentrated more on the fitness levels because the players have been down for a while due to the pandemic and inactive leagues," Byekwaso said as quoted by the Sports Nation.
