Suva football faces issues at training

July 23, 2015 12:19 am

The Suva football side is not having the best of preparations for next week’s Inkk Mobile Battle of the Giants tournament.

Coach, Gurjeet Singh says the majority of the senior players have not been turning up to training causing a major setback.

“Preparations are not going on so well. Actually I would say we are not prepared for this tournament. Looking at the turnout at training, very less number has turned up for training. Let’s just see how the players work out in the first game against Nadi.”
