PENANG football coach Ashley Westwood has acknowledged it is near impossible for his team to be fully ready when the 2017 Malaysian football league season begins this weekend.

He admitted the Panthers were still a ‘work in progress’ after watching his charges lose 1-0 to visiting Cambodian top division clubside Nagaworld FC.
