Adama Traoré has reportedly been told by West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo that he is no longer allowed to lift weights at the club gym.
The reason is that Traoré already has a very muscular physique, which Nuno described as “incredible.” The coach does not want him adding more bulk, believing extra weight training could negatively affect his mobility and overall performance.
Instead of heavy strength training, Traoré will focus on injury prevention, conditioning, and fitness work tailored to maintain his speed and explosiveness without increasing muscle mass.
Nuno has praised Traoré’s pace and one-on-one ability, suggesting that once he fully adapts, he could become an important option for the team.
