Gozitan champions Nadur Youngsters will have young Maltese-Australian Emmanuel Muscat in their ranks for Sunday's top clash against current Easyline Division One leaders Ghajnsielem at the Gozo Stadium.

The match heralds the start of the third round in the top flight on the sister island with the Blacks currently enjoying a two-point lead at the top.

During the Christmas holidays, Muscat, 18, visited the islands and figured in a couple of matches for the Youngsters, who recently acquired the signature of Edoardo do Nascimento, the former Floriana and Sliema striker from Brazil.

At present, Muscat, who is a right-sided midfielder, is in the UK where he is having a series of trials with Football League clubs, including Hull City.

He arrives in Malta today to prepare for the clash against Ghajnsielem and is expected to fly back to England soon after to start another trial with Premier League club Blackburn Rovers.

So far, Muscat has turned out for Sunshine George Cross, Melbourne Eagles and Green Gully FC. He was invited for the trials after he was spotted by Hull City scout Graham Botterill last season in the Australian Super League.
