Bray Wanderers v Shamrock Rovers:Bolton's O'Briens, Joey and Andy, will be hoping for international recalls this afternoon when Republic of Ireland manager Steve Staunton names his squad for the forthcoming Euro 2008 qualifiers against Germany and Cyprus at Croke Park.
The 21-year-old Dubliner missed all of last season due to injury and has not played for his country since Staunton's first match in charge, the 3-0 win over Sweden, while his newly signed club-mate was dropped from the squad after the 5-2 defeat by the Cypriots in Nicosia last October.
Both, though, have featured in Wanderers' recent games and at least one seems likely to be included in the panel. Steve Finnan is also available again after missing the games in Slovakia and the Czech Republic due to injury but Damien Duff is set to miss out again as he continues his rehabilitation from foot surgery at Newcastle.
In the league, meanwhile, Shamrock Rovers will look to close the gap on Drogheda United at the top of the table to five points when they take on Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds this evening.
Alan Cawley is back from suspension but Colm Tresson will again be missing because of injury for the home side who go into the game having conceded 20 times in a run of eight league games without a win.
As they slide towards trouble at the foot of the Premier Division, it's a streak they could do with ending but that may be a tall order given their opponents' form of late.
Rovers are without Aidan Price, Padraig Amond (both out for the rest of the campaign), Danny O'Connor and Dean Lawrence.
Barry Ferguson should shake off a hamstring problem to feature while Barry Murphy, Ger Rowe and Dave Tyrrell are also expected to be available after recovering from their respective injuries.
