Champions Birkirkara will have to cope without Etienne Barbara for their tricky-looking fixture against Floriana on October 16 after the Malta forward was suspended for one match.

Barbara, a key player for a Birkirkara team hit hard by injuries in this early stage of the season, came in for punishment after being sent off in his side's 2-1 win over Marsa last weekend.

Marsa had Victor Bellia on yesterday's suspensions list.

Bellia was also banned for one match after he collected his fourth yellow card in last Saturday's match against Birkirkara.

The former Malta U-21 midfielder will miss Marsa's match against fellow strugglers Pietà.
