Premier League leaders Birkirkara will be without two key players for Saturday's important clash with Hibernians at the National Stadium.

Roderick Briffa and Haruna Doda were hit by a one-match ban from the MFA Disciplinary Commissioner after seeing red in the 2-0 upset to Floriana on Sunday.

Floriana's Stephen Wellman was also given his marching orders by referee Anton Zammit on Sunday and subsequently received a one-match suspension. Team-mate Clifton Ciantar also suffered the same punishment.

Pietà, scheduled to meet Balzan on Sunday at the Hamrun Ground, had Pierre Aquilina on the list of suspended players. Aquilina and Ivan Woods, who has served the first of a two-match ban after his red card in the 1-0 defeat to Marsaxlokk, will sit out the Hotspurs' clash with Balzan.

Fabio Cauchi, of Msida St Joseph, and Hamrun's Keith Fabri were also banned for one match.
