Lack Of Fitness Won't Be An Issue This Season

04 July 2013 01:35
Sunderland defender Carlos Cuellar is confident that he and his teammates will benefit from manager Paolo Di Canio's gruelling pre-season training sessions.

Cuellar believes that the Black Cats, who narrowly escaped relegation from the Premier League last season, will be in better shape come the business end of the 2013-14 campaign.

Carlos Cuellar: "The way we'll approach this pre-season, I think it will make us a lot stronger physically.

"In the last few games of last season, you could see the players pick up little injuries or cramp because we were working so hard to win every match.

"Sometimes, you give more than 100%, and we didn't have that extra fitness we needed. I don't think we're going to have that problem next year."
