DUNDALK will look to resume their winning ways when they travel to Terryland Park this evening but Sean Connor will be without Michael Daly who was sent off in last week’s defeat to Bohemians.
Connor also travels without Declan O’Brien or Michael Synnott who have gone on loan to St Patrick’s Athletic and Shelbourne respectively but left- sided midfielder Kevin McKinlay comes into the reckoning after signing during the week.
The hosts, who ended a poor sequence of results by beating St Patrick’s again last Friday, must cope without Jay O’Shea, Michael McGrath and Shane Guthrie, all serving bans, while Derek O’Brien is a doubt with a hamstring injury but Alan Murphy and Shane Fitzgerald should be back.
Paul Crowley is the only real injury worry for Alan Mathews ahead of Drogheda United’s game against Bray Wanderers but Guy Bates, who rejoined the club this week, is unlikely to feature as his international clearance has not yet been secured.
Wanderers, meanwhile, head north without Chris Deans (heel) or Paul Byrne (knee).
