Adama Traore: The West Ham winger is banned from lifting weights, says Nuno Espirito Santo

Adama Traore has been banned from lifting weights on the training ground West Ham Director Nuno Espirito Santo.

Nuno described the winger’s muscular frame as “amazing”, but warned that the 30-year-old “carries enough weight”.

The Spaniard had previously surprisingly claimed he did not lift weights, but teammate Crescencio Summerville posted a video on social media showing Traoré bench pressing 145kg at the club’s training ground in Rush Green last week.

“It’s unbelievable [his physique]It’s genetics. [But] “His genetics have been like this for some time and he should avoid the gym,” Nuno said in a press conference ahead of Fulham’s Premier League match on Wednesday.

“I’ve asked him to stay out of the gym. It’s one of the things I think he needs to realize. It’s enough weight to carry.

“He will do preventive work [in the gym]But he’s not there lifting weights.

“For example, [Under-21s defender] Iridas Goulampikis, he spends hours in the gym – we have to gain weight. “He’s the one who needs some muscle, and vice versa.”
