Blues lose seven players to injury

Waterford United and Derry City go head-to-head in tonight's eircom League of Ireland Premier Division clash at the RSC, kick-off 7.45pm.

Blues boss Gareth Cronin has lost seven first team players through injury or suspension.

David Breen is ruled out through suspension, while Dave Mulcahy, Karl Bermingham, Packie Holden, Kenny Browne and Daryl Kavanagh are all out injured, and Paul McCarthy is a major doubt.

Derry will have to manage without Alan Moore, Gary Beckett and Sammy Morrow, and Pat McCourt is unlikely to be risked.

Ken Oman and Barry Molloy are both doubts and will face late fitness tests ahead of the trip to the RSC.
