Injuries disrupt Candystripes' cup preparations

Derry City’s FAI Cup semi-final preparations are already in disarray following the Candystripes’ bruising encounter with St Patrick’s Athletic at the weekend.

City, who face Waterford United at the Brandywell this Friday night for a place in the Cup final, may well have to plan without midfielder Sean Hargan, who was taken to hospital following the 1-1 draw with St Pat’s on Thursday night. He may have ankle ligament damage.
