SPEEDY GONZALES RESUMES LIGHT TRAINING

After a month of recuperation, Munjen striker, Haris is finally back on the pitch earlier today for light training.

Munjen's head physio has given Haris the green light two days back after he passed a thorough medical examination by the team's medical staff. "It is great to see whim recover well so fast as we had predicted that he'll be out till at least another two months! He seems fine but he will need to undergo constant examinations and also keep a close eye on."

Under-fire manager, Jac commented that it was a relief that Haris has returned to the grounds with light-training under close supervision. Should Haris make it through the pre-season trainings and be match fit by the start of the season, it would be a real boost for the troubled manager.

A less than desirable string of results last season has made a call for the manager's head but the news has been rubbished by the board of directors claiming they are dully behind the gaffer.

Munjen Magazine managed to catch-up with Haris after training and this was what he had to say :

"It feels great to finally get to kick the ball again. The feeling was as if I've been liberalised. It's great to see the fans who acknowledged my return and I wanna thank everyone, from my team mates, the gaffer, the backroom staff and of course the fans who have never failed to wish me well and get back on my feet again.

"I just hope that I am able to get back to match fitness soon 'cause i wouldn't wanna miss the start of the new season. It has been a terrible one for us last season and we're out to make it right this time around. However, I wouldn't risk my health for the season as i feel that a playing team with 100% fitness is better than having one that has a player who isn't match fit at all."

Firdaus, the team winger also commented that the return of Haris has lifted the atmosphere in the dressing room as they have been left without a striker towards the end of last season, all missing through injuries.

Other players who have been missing in the attacking force of the team are also expected to be back within a month or two. Chris, who came from the youth system has recently got back to match fitness while Aaron and Hafriz will spend a little more time in the medical room.
