Fiji Soccer Team suffered another setback as they prepare to host the Pacific Games Soccer Gold Medalists New Caledonia in the World Cup qualifying round.

First goalkeeper, Simione Tamanisau was ruled out because he could not get leave from work and now top striker Josaia Bukalidi and midfielder Malakai Tiwa will also miss this weekend's encounter through injury.

Fiji Soccer Team Coach Carlos Buzetti said they have capable replacements for these three players and just need to see which players can fit in what position.

Buzetti is also confident that they will be able to avenge their Pacific Games final loss and put Fiji back on track for the 2010 World Cup playoffs.

Fiji / New Caledonia match will kick off on Saturday at 3pm at Govind Park in Ba.
