Labasa will face challenges in their Digicel Fiji Premier League Round 14 match against T/Naitasiri on Saturday at Subrail Park, as three important players will be unavailable. Veteran utility player Taniela Waqa is sidelined due to a knee injury, while captain Christopher Wasasala and Akeimi Ralulu are suspended after receiving two yellow cards each.
Coach Ravneel Pratap highlighted the tough nature of the upcoming fixture, particularly with T/Naitasiri aiming to escape the relegation zone and Labasa looking to improve their standings. “We know Naitasiri will come prepared. They’re fighting to get out of the relegation zone, and we’re fighting to climb up the ladder,” Pratap stated.
He expressed anticipation for a competitive game, hoping his team can deliver a strong performance on their home turf. With the absence of key players, Labasa will need to rally together to secure a win in front of their supporters. The match is scheduled to kick off at 1:30 PM.
