Five City players suspended, two more a doubt

Derry City’s hopes of continuing their great revival in the eircom League premier division will be stretched to the limit tonight when they visit Drogheda United (7.45pm).

Caretaker boss Peter Hutton, who has overseen a run of six games without defeat that has pulled the Candystripes out of the relegation zone, will be without five players through suspension, while another two are rated doubtful due to injury.
