The Nadi Soccer Team is still sweating on the fitness of key players as they prepare to take on Suva in the semifinal of the Punjas Battle of the Giants tournament tomorrow.

Top players such as Rusiate Matarerega and Napolioni Qasevakatini suffered injuries during the pool matches and were expected to recover by now but this has not been the case.

Coach Kamal Swamy says they are preparing without the star duo and have brought in some new players to build a combination for the much-anticipated clash.

Nadi is the only team to have won all their pool matches in this tournament so far and have scored the most number of goals as well.

They last won the BOG way back in 1996.

Nadi play Suva in the first semifinal of the BOG at 4pm tomorrow while Rewa take on Ba at 2pm in the second semifinal.

The final is at 3pm Sunday.
