Derry without four key players

Derry City will be hoping to return to winning ways after their disappointing defeat by Shelbourne before the summer break when they face Dublin City.

The Candystripes lost just twice in the opening phase of games – against Dublin City and Shelbourne – and will hope to get back to winning to stay in League contention.

But Derry will be without four key men tonight with Kevin Deery, Ken Oman (both ankle), Clive Delaney and Gareth McGlynn (both knee) all ruled out.

Dublin City have problems of their own with Gavin McDonnell, Gary Rogers and Ben Whelehan all suspended while Robbie Collins is a doubt with a knee problem.
