This morning, the doctor for the Mozambique National Football Team, Mussa Caló, provided crucial information about the players' physical condition, highlighting that David Malembane and Lau King are training under restrictions, while the remaining 20 athletes are in excellent shape for their participation in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) in Ivory Coast.
According to Mussa Caló, David Malembane initially reported an injury to his ankle joint, which worsened during the first training session. However, after treatment at a private clinic, the player recovered and participated in the most recent training session without complaint, indicating a positive outcome. The news brings relief to the coaching staff and fans of the "Mambas," as Malembane is a valuable asset to the national team.
Regarding Lau King, the doctor explained that the player, who had been injured for three months in Angola, faced difficulties due to fibrosis in the region near his right tibia. After treatment, Lau King's condition improved significantly, and he participated in the last training session without complaint, signaling a promising recovery. Lau King's presence is vital to strengthening the squad and offering valuable options to the coach in the African competition.
While Malembane and Lau King work to overcome their physical limitations, the national team, under the leadership of the coach and technical staff, intensifies its preparations in South Africa. The goal is to be in peak form when the team takes the field at the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN), which takes place from January 13 to February 11.
The presence of all 20 other athletes in excellent physical and clinical condition is encouraging news for the Mozambican national team. Doctor Mussa Caló expressed confidence in the team's ability to represent the country with dignity in the biggest football tournament on the African continent.
As the Africa Cup of Nations approaches, the Mozambican nation eagerly awaits to see the "Mambas" in action, confident that the combination of talent, dedication, and proper preparation will lead them to a remarkable performance on the international football stage.
