A number of top players have been left out of the 20 member Vodafone Fiji soccer team that will play two crucial matches against the All Whites in the 2018 World Cup Qualifier.
They include players like Iosefo Verevou, Tevita Waranivalu, Savenaca Nakalevu, Edwin Sahayam and Ravinesh Karan Singh.
When questioned, National Team Director Tarunesh Reddy says coach Christophe Gamel has the final say on the selection and they stand by him.
Reddy says some of these players may have discipline issues while others may just not fit in Gamel’s team.
He says the sole decision rests with Gamel.
We will be speaking to Gamel later today.
