Premier league leaders Hibernians will be missing a number of key players when they take on bottom side Sliema on Saturday.
Midfield play maker Bjorn Kristensen is out injured and the trio of Jake Grech, Thaylor Aldama and Gabriel Izquier Artiles are suspended.
Those absentees could prove crucial considering that Sliema have just signed eight new players as they strive to get off the bottom of the table and strengthen their effort to remain in the premiership.
