The 18-year-old defender has made his English Football debut while on loan from Stoke City.

Patel says it is a great boost for Fiji Football.

“It’s a great news that Wara is now available to play for Fiji against Solomon Islands and Singapore during this window and we are grateful to Stoke City for making him available. We have been trying to get him since March for the Philippines tour but they were not ready to release him, we kept trying and they have finally agreed to release him."

Patel says they are also in talks with Wellington Phoenix to secure the services of Roy Krishna for this international window.

Fiji hosts Solomon Islands on the 5th of next month and will then meet Singapore on the 11th in Singapore.
