Kedah Darul Aman star striker Tchetche Kipre has admitted that he needs to catch up to his teammates' current fitness level, following his late arrival to the club's 2021 pre-season training.
The Ivorian had only arrived back in Malaysia late last week, when the team had already undergone weeks of pre-season.
"Although I had undertaken light training back in my hometown, it definitely wasn't enough for me to keep fit. The team had gone through three weeks of intensive training while I'm still behind.
