Brincat still missing for Malta

Malta coach Siegfred Held has announced an 18-man squad for the EURO 2004™ qualifier against Slovenia in Ljubljana on Saturday.

Brincat unavailable
Sliema Wanderers FC's new acquisition Joe Brincat is still unavailable through injury.  The 32-year-old midfield player will therefore have to wait a while longer to notch his 100th appearance in a Maltese national jersey.

Mifsud in
1. FC Kaiserslautern striker Michael Mifsud suffered a broken nose in Tuesday’s friendly game between Malta and Internazionale FC but is still included in the squad.

Camilleri pulls out
However, Sliema's David Camilleri has pulled out due to illness. The other players excluded by Held for the trip to Slovenia are Malcolm Licari, Jonathan Holland and Carlo Mamo, who is still serving a doping suspension.

Malta squad
Muscat, Darmanin, Carabott, Chetcuti, Ciantar, Dimech, Debono, Said, Theuma, Agius, Camenzuli, Giglio, Turner, Bogdanovich, Mallia, A Mifsud, M Mifsud, Nwoko
