The Ba soccer team's two key players have been given a 50-50 chance of playing in next week's Vodafone Fiji Fact.

Midfielder Malakai Tiwa and Shameel Rao have been told to take more rest to recover from injury.

Tiwa injured his knee while playing against Rewa last weekend, while Rao was injured during training yesterday.

Ba Soccer president Rishi Kumar is confident that the duo will play in next week's tournament.

The Men in Black Ba who were bundled out in the pool games at last year's Fiji Fact will meet Nasinu in their opening match next Thursday.
