The Fiji soccer team has suffered a big setback ahead of the OFC Nations Cup in Solomon's.

Lautoka striker, Kamal Hassan has been ruled out as he fractured his arm in the Vodafone Fiji Fact semi-final against Ba.

This now leaves the Fiji squad with 24 players of which only 20 will travel to Honiara next Tuesday.

The squad is also currently without Suva soccer defender, Samuela Vula who was part of Suva's historic win at the Fiji Fact.

National Team Director, Tarunesh Reddy said that they may also not allow Vula to be part of Suva's celebration on Saturday as he needs to be in the camp.

Fiji will play New Zealand next Saturday in its first match of the OFC Nations Cup.
