The Malta FA Disciplinary Commissioner has handed down suspensions to five players, ruling them out of Matchday 14 in the 360 Sports Malta Premier League.
Hibernians will be without key players Pedro Henrique Nunes Silva and Hugo Sacco for their clash against Mosta. Nunes Silva picked up his fourth yellow card of the season in the match against Floriana, while Sacco was sent off in the same game. This double blow could disrupt the Paolites as they aim to maintain momentum in the Top Six.
Marsaxlokk captain Ryan Scicluna will miss a crucial game against Gżira United on Sunday after receiving a yellow card during their match against Melita. In the same game, Gareth Barone also earned his fourth yellow card of the season and will now sit out the match against Balzan.
Żabbar St Patrick’s Vinicius de Paiva is another player sidelined for Matchday 14. He will miss the encounter with Naxxar Lions after picking up his fourth yellow card during their recent victory over Balzan.
With pivotal clashes in both the Top Six and Bottom Six looming, these suspensions could prove decisive. Teams will have to adapt as they aim to secure vital points in the race for survival and European qualification.
