Malawi national football team players regrouped Monday for non-residential training sessions in Blantyre, Lilongwe and Mzuzu.
\nFlames Team Manager, James Sangala, said the sessions are aimed at maintaining the players\u2019 physical fitness levels ahead of next month\u2019s first camp training for locally based players.
\nSangala said the sessions will run up to February 2 and the players will be meeting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
\n\u201cThe sessions are purely physical. There is no ball-work involved. We have done this because the players are currently on off-season and we would like them to be fit when they are called for this year\u2019s first camp training session,\u201d he said.
\nSangala said the team is looking forward to playing more friendly games on Fifa calendar dates to help the players maintain their match fitness and gain more international exposure.
\nIn Blantyre, the sessions are scheduled for the College of Medicine Sports Complex while Lilongwe-based players are meeting at Civo Stadium.
\nThe Flames technical panel is taking charge of the 18 players who are training in Blantyre while the team\u2019s physiotherapist, Chikondi Mandalasi, is in charge of seven players who are reporting at Civo Stadium.
\nKhuda Muyaba is the lone player who is reporting for the session at Mzuzu Stadium under the supervision of Under-20 national team doctor, Christopher Mwenegamba.
\nFull list
\nBlantyre-based players: Richard Chipuwa, Ernest Kakhobwe, Stanley Sanudi, John Lanjesi, Peter Cholopi, Dennis Chembezi, Miracle Gabeya, Ian Chinyama, Yamikani Fodya, Precious Sambani, Chimwemwe Idana, Chikoti Chirwa, Mike Mkwate, Jabulani Linje, Felix Zulu, Peter Banda, Chiukepo Msowoya, Rafick Namwera
