Highlands Park set to resume training amid lockdown

Highlands players are set to make a return to training on May 5 as they emphasised they will be following strict guidelines of the government-imposed national lockdown in their group workouts.

The Tembisa-based outfit would become the first Premier Soccer League (PSL) club to reassemble working out on the pitch if their plans go ahead.

With South Africa having relaxed some lockdown measures including allowing athletes to train, Highlands Park director Sinky Mnisi said the government’s decision came “as a relief.”

While some Bundesliga clubs and lately Arsenal, as well as West Ham (in England), resumed isolated training of five players per session, Highlands Park will work out in two shifts of 20 each per day.
