Floriana goalkeeper Matthew Grech has been called up to the Malta U-21 squad for the European U-21 Championship Group Six qualifying match against Belgium on Monday.

Malta U-21 coach Silvio Vella has decided to rope Grech into the squad after Philip Schranz, of Tarxien Rainbows, suffered an injury during the 5-0 defeat to Luxembourg in a friendly match on Thursday.

Grech is due to fly to Belgium early tomorrow morning to join Vella’s team who have already started their preparations for the match which will be played in Louvain.
