Goalkeepers: Mario Muscat (Hibernians), Justin Haber (Sheffield United);

Defenders: Roderick Briffa (Sliema), Luke Dimech (Valletta), Brian Said, (Marsaxlokk), Kenneth Scicluna (Valletta), Aaron Xuereb (Hibs);

Strikers: Michael Mifsud (Coventry), Etienne Barbara (Verl), Terence Scerri (Hibs), Andre Schembri (Carl Zeiss Jena).

The team had a training session yesterday and is expected to have another this evening at the Tirana Stadium, where the match is to be played tomorrow, starting at 8.45pm.
