Delon Shankar has rejoined Extra Bula FC training sessions after recovering from an injury.


Coach Stephane Auvray confirmed this following questions from fans seeking an update on Shankar ahead of the third round of the OFC Pro League.

Auvray says Shankar was still feeling some pain earlier, so he had stopped training but has now returned.

The coach adds that Shankar has been training for the past two to three days and appears to be doing well.

He further says that hopefully the progress will continue and Shankar can return to his optimal form.

Bula FC will face Vanuatu United FC at 1pm this Sunday.

The team will then face Hekari United next Wednesday at 8pm, followed by Solomon FC next Saturday at 7.30pm.

They will round off the circuit with their Round 1 postponed match against South Island United FC on 8th March at 8pm.

Meanwhile, the team sit in fifth place with five points after Round 2 of the tournament. They need to finish in the top four to qualify directly for the semi-finals.

Auckland FC lead with 15 points, South Melbourne FC are second with 11 points, and Solomon Kings FC are third with eight points.
