Valletta midfielder Edmond Agius is set for a long spell on the sidelines after fracturing his foot during the Euro Cup 2-0 defeat to Sliema Wanderers on Friday.

Agius suffered the injury midway through the first half and is now expected to skip the Europa League second qualifying round matches next month.

Other Valletta players facing the prospect of surgery are striker Terrence Scerri and defender Kenneth Scicluna.

On a more positive note, the Citizens have just strengthened their backline with the signing of Jonathan Caruana. This week, Valletta are also expected to tie up Tarxien Rainbows schemer Denni dos Santos.
