STAR striker Valerio Nawatu will make his return for Lautoka in the Fiji Sun/GP Batteries National Football League against Rewa at Churchill Park tomorrow.

Nawatu, who is eyeing a transfer back to Navua next month, has been on leave for three weeks.

The Serua lad is likely to team up with Nigerian Ali Chigozie Anthoney who scored two goals on debut against Tavua last week.

Lautoka Football Association president Shalendra Prasad said the Blues had also been boosted with the return of Alvin Avinesh from Australia.

He said the aim was to build on from the big 6-0 win over Tavua.

"Valerio returned to training this week. But his status in the starting lineup will depend on a fitness test," he said.

Lautoka has 11 points from eight games while Rewa has 10 points from seven. The match starts at 3pm.
