Hargan, Brennan, Murphy back for Derry

Derry City are hoping to cut the gap at the top of the table to three points when they face top of the table Cork City at the Brandywell.

Candystripes manager Stephen Kenny celebrated a year in the job yesterday and he will hope for a winning start to his second year.

Sean Hargan, Damien Brennan and Alan Murphy are back in the squad though Kevin Deery, Eddie McCallion and Eamon Doherty are still missing.

Cork City will be without striker Willie Bruton who has a virus while manager Damien Richardson must decide whether to recall George O’Callaghan who is available again after suspension.
