Suva had a great match against New Zealand-powerhouse Auckland City in the OFC Champions League this last weekend in Vanuatu. During the match, two players of the Fijian outfit were forced out due injuries: Simione Nabenu and Samuela Drudru.
The defender Nabenu was having a good match until he felt the back of his thigh, falling in pain and later being subbed by Merril Nand. The Fijian international talked to Oceania Football Center about the gravity of the injury: “I’m still in pain. It seems serious, I can’t even walk nicely“, Nabenu stated.
Suva FA posted in its official media account about Nabenu: “Wishing Simione Nabenu a quick recovery and hope to see you back playing at the top level soon. Vinaka for the effort that you put in and also for being there when the team needed you“.
Nabenu confirmed he had a harmstring to Oceania Football Center. Suva’s head coach Babs Khan said Simione Nabenu will not be part of his squad for the upcoming Fiji FACT – not stating about his injury -, as he heads back to New Zealand for work commitments.
