PETALING JAYA: It’s better late than never for Pahang skipper Dickson Nwakaeme as the team await the green light to resume their training, although other clubs have been training for two weeks now.

The Elephants only conducted their Covid-19 swab test last Saturday and are among the few Super League teams which have yet to get the thumbs up from the Malaysian Football League (MFL) to return to training.
