Five top Lautoka Soccer players will not be in the final squad to take on Hekari United this weekend in their O-League encounter.

Lautoka Coach Gurjeet Singh said these players with the likes of Valerio Nawatu, Jone Vono Junior, Marika Madigi, Samuela Kautoga and Ilaitia Tuilau will not be considered for this Saturday's encounter as they did not turn up for training.

According to Singh, their preparation has already been hampered with the rainy conditions in the West and coupled with their non-attendance, they will not tolerate such actions.

He added that this will also be an incentive to the younger players to step up.

The Lautoka and Hekari United O-league match kicks off this Saturday, 3pm at Churchill park and you can catch a live commentary on our sister station, Radio Sargam.
