Trio return for Galway United

Galway United travel to the Brandywell Stadium to take on Derry City tonight knowing that a victory would see them move back out of the relegation zone (kick-off 7pm).

The Tribesmen will be looking for a reversal of last week's cup defeat to Derry and welcome a host of players back into the squad.

John Fitzgerald, John Russell and Marc McCulloch all return from suspension, while Alan Murphy and Iarfhlaith Davoran also return having missed last week's defeat as they were cup-tied.

Jason Molloy is ruled out for Jeff Kenna's side as he must serve a one-match ban.

Kenna is likely to return to the dugout after playing in the cup game last Sunday.

For City, Mark McChrystal misses out through suspension, while Eddie McCallion is doubtful as he is carrying a calf injury.

Barry Molloy is also a doubt for Stephen Kenny's side as he has a groin strain.

Club captain Peter Hutton may return to the squad after an operation for a groin injury as he has been back in training with the first team this week.
