New Zealand based Fiji soccer midfielder Salesh Kumar will have to prove his fitness first before he is named in the Lautoka team to play in the O-League against Solomons Marist FC.

Kumar arrives on Saturday for Sunday's match and will have only a few hours to prove his fitness.

Lautoka soccer president Shalen Prasad said has been informed that Kumar has been doing his own training in New Zealand and Prasad hopes that he is fit to play in the hot weather in Lautoka.

Meanwhile, Lautoka will this afternoon play against the National Under 20 side as a build-up match.

The Lautoka versus Marist FC O-League match will be played on Sunday at 3pm at Churchill Park.
