Coach Djadjang Nurdjaman of\u00a0Persib Bandung\u00a0has\u00a0assessed new recruits Michael Essien and revealed the player is overweight.<\/p>\n
The new marquee player of Persib\u00a0has been asked to be put on a diet to lose the excessive weight.<\/p>\n
The reason for Essien’s weight problem is that the player hasn’t been in action since leaving Greek club\u00a0Panathinaikos. Djadjang hopes that Essien could get in shape prior to the kick-off of the 2017 Liga 1.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, team doctor Rafi Ghani said he would try to figure out Essien’s ideal weight by caloric needs. However, Rafi believes Essien can maintain a good physical condition.<\/p>\n
“I have not seen in more details, I will have to go through the numbers. So I will\u00a0wait\u00a0for the report of ISMC [Indonesia Sports Medicine Center],” said Rafi.<\/p>\n
Persib’s 25 first team players for the coming season, including Essien, will be unveiled to the public on Sunday\u00a0(2\/4) at Siliwangi Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
