Giovanni Tedesco has no option but to reshuffle his defence as he looks to steer Birkirkara back to winning ways when they take on Qormi tomorrow.
Birkirkara will be without their two regular centre-backs after Argentine defender Mauricio Mazzetti was handed a two-match ban yesterday following his dismissal in the 1-1 draw against Mosta while Serbian Nikola Vukanac is ruled out with a knee injury.
Qormi, lifted by their brave display against Sliema, will be looking to make things difficult for the Stripes.
Jesmond Zerafa, the Qormi coach, can bank on a full squad.
