Price comes back for Bohs' trip to Dundalk

Dundalk and Bohemians go head to head in tonight’s FAI Ford Cup semi-final at Oriel Park, kick-off 7.45pm.

The Lilywhites will be looking to bounce back after already losing to Bohs in Monday’s league clash where the Gypsies won 3-1.

The home side must plan without Eoghan Osborne (fractured tibia), Stephen McDonnell (knee), Stephen Maher (fractured metatarsal) and Chris Kerr (torn hamstring).

Colin Hawkins is a doubt as he recovers from a knee problem, while Ross Gaynor is another concern as he is struggling with an ankle injury.

Keith Ward returns to the Dundalk squad after serving a suspension.

Dundalk boss Ian Foster said: "Tonight is a huge event and we are all really looking forward to it.

"We have been blessed this season with the cup run that we enjoyed in the Setanta Sports Cup, and hopefully we can continue that in this competition.

"We know that it's not going to be easy. But we'll give it everything we've got and see if we can progress to the last four. My players will be desperate to do so.

"Some of them have never progressed to that round of the cup, and what I can guarantee is that we'll have 11 players on the pitch who are totally committed, who will know their jobs, who will know their responsibilities and who will give it everything they've got.”

Aidan Price returns to the Bohs squad after missing Monday's win over Dundalk with an ankle injury.

Ollie Cahill is unlikely to be involved as he is still to return to full fitness.

Otherwise, Bohs boss Pat Fenlon has a full squad to choose from for the trip north.
