The 4R Limited Men In Black Ba soccer team suffered an early blow, as they prepare to take on Papua New Guinea's Hekari Souths United in the O-League this afternoon.

Eight of their key players that defeated Hekari Souths United in the first leg 2-1 has been ruled out of today's match.

Goalkeeper Jone Sarolo and defender Peni Finau are sick while Ronal Lawrence, Malakai Tiwa, Kini Viliame and Maciu Dunadamu are suffering from injury with Pita Bolatoga and Keni Doidoi joining Navua and Lautoka this season.

Ba Soccer president Rishi Kumar said despite the setback, they have players that can do the job today and beat the Papua New Guinean side also in a return match.
