Lautoka’s first-choice goalkeeper Viliame Tabucala is uncertain for their Rooster Chicken/Scoops Ice-Cream Battle of the Giants semifinal against Rewa today.
Tabucala sustained an injury during Lautoka’s group match against Navua and will undergo a final medical assessment today.
If declared unfit, 19-year-old Epeli Vunibola is expected to start the important match.
Lautoka President Shalendra Prasad acknowledges the challenge posed by Rewa’s well-structured side with experienced players but is confident in his team’s preparation and chances.
Additionally, Captain Sitiveni Cavuilagi will miss the semifinal following a red card received against Navua last Sunday.
The Flick Hygiene Lautoka vs Extra Supermarket Rewa semifinal kicks off at 2 pm at the HFC Bank Stadium in Suva.
