Injury worries for Drogheda United

Drogheda United and Sligo Rovers meet in tonight’s Airtricity League Premier Division clash at Hunky Dorys Park (kick-off 7.45pm).

Eoghan Osborne and Damien Brennan are suspended for United, while Brendan McGill, Paul Crowley and Jamie Harris are out injured.

Manager Brian Donnelly said: “It was a great result last week (beating Sporting Fingal 2-1), but we can’t get carried away with it, from being around the lads now I expect no less of a performance, there is a great bond in this team and they are capable of a lot more. We still believe that we can catch Galway.”

Mauro Almeida is the only absentee for Sligo for the trip to Drogheda.

Almeida injured his Achilles against St Patrick’s Athletic earlier in the season and continues to recover from surgery.

Matthew Blinkhorn returns from a back injury that kept the striker on the sidelines for 10 weeks. The Bit o' Red have no other suspension or injury worries

Rovers beat Drogheda 6-0 in The Showgrounds earlier this season but the meeting in Co Louth proved a much closer affair, ending 2-2.
