Extra Supermarket Labasa’s top goal scorer, Melvin Mani, will miss Saturday’s crucial Extra Premier League clash against Dayal’s Sawmillers Ba at Subrail Park.
The Labasa star is one of 12 players who will watch this weekend’s round 16 from the sideline after accumulating two yellow cards.
Also out for Labasa is Peniasi Rotidara who has two yellow cards as well.
Mani, who scored the winning goal against Prithvi Navua last week, has netted six goals in the league after 15 rounds.
