Preview Day 12: Valletta vs St Andrews Published on: 20-11-2015
The 2-0 defeat to Pembroke Athleta was like a bolt out of the blue for Valletta who have slipped to second, one point behind Balzan.
The Citizens return to the scene of their upset to Pembroke this evening to face St Andrew’s, the only team without a point.
Argentine striker Federico Falcone is out of the equation as he has yet to complete a two-match ban. Midfielder Llywelyn Cremona, who made his Malta debut in the 2-0 friendly loss to Jordan, is out, suspended.
Brazilian forward Jhonnattann and captain Jonathan Caruana are training normally but Zammit is unlikely to risk them today.
Italian midfielder Claudio Pani returns from injury.
St Andrew’s coach Wayne Attard has signed Nigerian midfielder Uzeh Edafe in a bid to beef up his team’s resistance.
Attard’s task for today’s game is compounded by the absence of three key players as striker Kyrian Nwoko is out after injuring his adductor while playing for the Malta U-19s against Iceland, Dale Camilleri has a hamstring problem and captain Joseph Farrugia is struggling with back pain.
