Birkirkara will have to do without defender Predrag Jovic for their next BOV Premier League match against leaders Balzan when the championship re-sumes after the international break.

Jovic, of Serbia, was handed a one-match ban yesterday following his dismissal in the one-all draw against Valletta last week.

Second-placed Birkirkara play Balzan on October 16.

Three other players from the top flight – Sergio dos Anjos Raphael (Ħamrun Spartans), Marko Potezica (Sliema Wanderers) and Enzo Ruiz (Floriana) – received a similar one-match suspension.

The Spartans play the Wanderers on October 15 and Floriana clash against Hibernians on the same day.
