Despite this, Manager Nemani Tuifagalele says they’re confident the younger players will deliver the goods for the Capital side come game day.

“Suva is actually into development. This is the development that we’ve set from the last three years, the platform is ready and we are not afraid to fill in the new players that are coming in. We know the players that we train and we know the players that can deliver on the game day.”

Tuifagalele adds it will not be hard for the new players to compete as they’ve been exposed to similar levels of competitions.

Suva takes on Namosi on Saturday at 3pm at Thompson Park.

Also on Saturday Nadi hosts Tailevu at Prince Charles Park in its first Farebrother trophy defense.

Naitasiri plays Yasawa and Nadroga battles Lautoka.
