Sierra Leone: Muwhid Sesay in Battle for Fitness

Leone Stars and former Ports Authority FC striker, Muwhid Sesay is presently nursing injury even as his club, Atlantis FC, continues to struggle on the Finnish league table.

The Finland-based striker, appeared on the sub-bench on Wednesday as he watched his club lose 2-0 to JJK Jyvaskyla.

Sesay who contacted Concord Sports via email said he has been on the sideline for over five matches as a result of the injury but hopes to be fit by next month.

"I'm presently suffering from an injury on my right leg and I have been out of action for over five games. But I'm going to play next month according to the doctor.

"The injury has affected me a little bit in the league. That is why I have only a goal to my credit so far. My presence on the substitute bench is just for formality sake as our team is having much injury problems. But I am doing my best to return to action very soon," he stated in the email.

On his team's performance in the league so far, the striker maintained that it has been a tough season for them but believes they will double up their effort before the league ends.

After four successive draws in a row, Atlantis FC suffered loss 2-0 to JJK Jyvaskyla with goals from Ady and Wusu in the 58th and 75th minute respectively.
