AS the Blues squad prepares for the trip to Rushden tomorrow, defender Luke Dimech will be returning from midweek international duty.

The 28-year-old, pictured, was in the Malta starting line-up against Northern Ireland in their 1-1 draw at the Ta' Q'ali stadium, but he was substituted after 62 minutes.

It was Dimech's 37th cap for his country since his debut against Iceland in 1999.
