Maika Sivo is set to miss Parramatta's return to NRL pre-season training after being blocked from flying out of Fiji due to an indecent assault charge.
Sivo appeared in court yesterday after being arrested for allegedly assaulting a staff member at a resort in Nadi on Saturday night.
He was granted bail but was issued a stop departure order, preventing Sivo from returning to Sydney and resuming preparations for the 2020 season with the Eels.
