Doherty in wings to slot in for Reid

Bill George preview

Reid turned his ankle in training at Malahide on Monday and did not play a full part in yesterday’s final training session. He will be given a fitness test after 24 hours’ rest and treatment before the team is finalised.

Brian Kerr chose to play down the significance of Reid’s injury and was not prepared to indicate whether or not the young midfielder will play. But even if Reid is passed fit, Kerr must consider his alternatives.
