KEY POINTS:
Blackburn skipper Ryan Nelsen is in serious doubt to play in the All Whites' World Cup qualifying series with Fiji next weekend.
Nelsen missed out on selection for the Blackburn squad that was knocked out of the first round of the UEFA Cup this morning.
New Zealand Football CEO Graham Seatter says the deadline for Nelsen's fitness is Blackburn's Premier League match this weekend. If he does not play against Birmingham City he will not fly to New Zealand.
The Birmingham City match is Monday morning.
