Vodafone Fiji 7s coach Ben Ryan hopes that Isake Katonibau and Jerry Tuwai will be able to recover and be in contention for selection for the next leg of the IRB World 7s Series in Dubai and Port Elizabeth.
With both players ruled out of the Coral Coast 7s next week, Ryan says Katonibau and Tuwai have proved themselves during the Gold Coast 7s and they need more time to recover.
Ryan adds the two players will still be considered for the next leg.
Other players who are expected to make the final cut for the next leg of the IRB World 7s Series include Apisai Domolaiali, Osea Kolinisau, Savenaca Rawaca, Emosi Mulevoro, Viliame Mata, Eminoni Nasilasila and Eremasi Radrodro.
The Dubai 7s kicks off on the 5th of next month and Fiji is pooled with France, Argentina and Brazil.
