Injury concerns for Gormley

Bray Wanderers travel to Morton Stadium to take on Sporting Fingal in tonight’s Airtricity League Premier Division clash (kick-off 7.45pm).

Bray Wanderers travel to Morton Stadium to take on Sporting Fingal in tonight’s Airtricity League Premier Division clash (kick-off 7.45pm).

Jake Kelly returns to the Wanderers squad after missing Friday’s defeat to Galway United.

Stephen Brennan (hamstring) and Richie Baker (hamstring) will have fitness tests before the game, while Daire Doyle (foot), John Mulroy (calf), Dean Zambra (ankle) and Shane O'Neill (hip) will miss out once again.

Bray boss Eddie Gormley said: "I'll be looking for a big improvement. If we play as we did in the first half last Friday, Fingal could be out of sight by half time."

For Fingal, John Frost (hamstring) and Shaun Maher (knee) missed Saturday night’s 1-0 victory at Sligo Rovers and are unlikely to be ready while the chest problem suffered by Stephen Paisley at the Showgrounds makes him a major doubt.

Centre-back Kenny Browne’s dismissal against the Bit O’Red for two yellow cards means he’s suspended.

“We’ll have to juggle things around in defence but I’ve full faith in my players' ability to be versatile,” said Fingal boss Liam Buckley.

“Midfielder Shaun Williams did a fantastic job for us at Sligo Rovers when slotting in at left-back. It’s unfortunate that we have virtually a full defence missing but, while one door closes, another opens to gives others an opportunity to impress.”
