The Ba soccer team will miss the services of their top striker Tui Masi Manuca for their National Soccer League match against Nadi tonight.

Manuca who helped Ba win the Courts Homecentres IDC Trophy a fortnight ago is on crutches after he broke his leg in the final when he collided with Nadi goalkeeper Ben Amino.

Ba soccer president Rishi Kumar said Tui Masi Manuca is out for four to six weeks but he is expecting him to be back in time for the Champion vs Champion soccer series in February against Labasa.

Kumar said tonight's match against Nadi is not important to his side although they have a chance to finish in second place and win the prize-money of $4,000.

The Ba / Nadi match will kick off at 7pm today at Prince Charles Park.
