Onyango confirmed to www.fufa.co.ug that the resting period which he was granted by the technical and medical departments has been so useful to facilitate his full recovery.

Many may think i have been totally resting. No, i have been working out on the upper body but nevertheless, the rest has been so useful to help me recover from the fatigue after a long season.
