Malta squad finally makes it to Estonia following flight cancellation

Malta's national football team have finally landed in the Estonian capital Tallinn, 24 hours after a cancelled flight left them stranded in Amsterdam.  The team is due to play a friendly match against the Estonians in the run-up to Saturday's 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign opener against Scotland at Ta' Qali National Stadium.  Staff and players were forced to spend the night in Amsterdam after they were told yesterday morning that their connecting flight to Tallinn had been cancelled due to a technical issue with the aircraft.   The Maltese contingent spent the night at the Hilton airport hotel, with coach Pietro Ghedin keeping players focused with a pre-dinner pep talk.
