Fiji Soccer Team Captain Osea Vakatalesau may be rested for today's match against the Cook Islands in the Olympic qualifying tournament.

Vakatalesau who is yet to score a goal for Fiji got a yellow card against Papua New Guinea and Coach Carlos Buzzetti does not want to take the risk by fielding him in today's game.

Buzzetti is expected to use Alvin Singh or Maciu Dunadamu in the striker's position with Roy Krishna. He will announce his starting line-up in this hour.

Fiji remains in contention for a Olympics berth. The Fiji / Cook Islands match will kickoff at 2:30pm at Lautoka's Churchill Park.
