"It's incredible [his physique], it's genetics. [But] his genetics has been like this for some time now, and he should avoid the gym. I've told him to stay out of the gym. It's one of the things that I think he needs to realise. It's enough weight that he carries. He'll do prevention work [in the gym], but he's not there lifting weights."
"For example, [Under-21s defender] Airidas Golambeckis, spends hours in the gym - we have to get weight on him. He's the one that needs muscle, it's the other way around."
"Traore's unique. There are not many players in world footba"
Nuno Espirito Santo implemented a gym ban for Adama Traore at West Ham, restricting the winger from weight training despite his exceptional physique. Nuno acknowledged Traore's incredible genetics-based musculature but determined he carries enough weight already and should focus on prevention work instead of strength training. This contrasts with other players like defender Airidas Golambeckis, who require additional muscle development. Traore, signed from Fulham in January, has made limited appearances for West Ham with no goal contributions. Despite his slow start, Nuno views Traore as unique and important for the club's survival battle, drawing on their extensive history together from previous managerial roles.
