Adama Traore has been banned from lifting weights at the training ground by West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

The winger's muscular frame has been described as "incredible" by Nuno, but he warned the 30-year-old already "carries enough weight".

The Spaniard previously made the surprising claim that he did not lift weights, but team-mate Crysencio Summerville posted a video on social media of Traore bench-pressing 145kg at the club's training ground in Rush Green last week.

"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," said Nuno, speaking at a news conference before Wednesday's Premier League match at Fulham.

"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 in there lifting weights.

"For example, [Under-21s defender] Airidas Golambeckis, he spends hours in the gym - we have to get weight on him. He's the one that needs some muscle, it's the other way around."

If anyone believed that Adama got this muscular by not lifting weights, I've got a bridge to sell you

Not really weighing in on the subject as such, but I am very fond of the line "his genetics has been like this for some time now"...

That muscle mass was always going to greatly reduce his speed at some stage....its been crazy to see the decline in his pace!

It's as he hit his 30s how his agility and any flexibility just dropped off a cliff this year. He's looked much more cumbersome on the ball. Deffo needs to slim down if he wants to prolong his career any further as he's just too much mass currently to be agile enough on the ball.

If he worked more on his finishing and less on the weights, he'd still be here at Fulham getting more minutes.
