Tarxien Rainbows have suffered a blow with the news that Alex Nilsson is likely to be out for three weeks with a hamstring injury.

Nilsson, who opened the scoring for the Rainbows in last week’s 2-1 defeat to Birkirkara, has been joined on the sidelines by Spanish midfielder Carlos Hevia who has a shoulder problem.

Coach Jacques Scerri has also lost Argentine winger Sergio Prendes, who starts a three-match ban, and Alex Alves, also suspended.

Bottom side Qormi will be without wing-back Emerson Vella and midfielder Clifford Gauci, both suspended, while midfielder Yannick Yankam is out with a foot injury.

Dutch forward Djamel Leeflang is doubtful with a knee problem.

Previous results: Tarxien vs Qormi 4-1, 4-0.
