Reserves and Academy 2025-26

What's happened to Ben Broggio?

Haven't seen him in either the U18s or U21s in early season games, presume he's crocked?.

I think I read something about him being injured right at the start of pre-season but I can't find where I saw it now. He's one of a handful of youngsters who seem to be between the U21s and the first team though so I'm not sure how many U21 games he'll be involved with.

Cheers P.

Hope to see him really kicking on this season.

I think we could draw Lincoln Red Imps, or Hibs.

We drew the winner of the First Round tie between Inter Club d'Escaldes of Andorra and Albanians KF Skėnderbeu.

Scheduled for 22nd October (away, I think) and 5th November (home)

Should we progress to the Third Round we would face AZ Alkmaar unless they are upset by Maltesers the Naxxar Lions or the previously-mentioned Lincoln Red Imps.

Scheduled for 26th November (away) and 10th December (home).

AZ run a very successful youth academy. Could be a good test.

Seems a bit of a strange one. Maybe he wants to learn French.

Didn't Emery say he would get games this season?

Wouldn't be surprised if he plays Konsa at right back so that we can go to a back 3 when in possession.
