The Wellington Phoenix will have a full-strength squad on their pre-season tour of India, despite some initial security concerns.
A 21-strong group will depart for the subcontinent today, with a game against the Newcastle Jets on the way.
The squad had raised concerns over their safety, with a handful of bombs recently going off in one of the cities they'll tour.
Those fears have been allayed, with all available players confirmed to travel.
Mark Paston will return to New Zealand after tomorrow's game for the birth of his third child, while Vince Lia, Jimmy Downey, Dani Sanchez and Lucas Pantelis are unavailable through injury
