Duo suspended for Candystripes

Derry City and Bray Wanderers go head to head in tonight’s Airtricity League Premier Division clash at the Brandywell, kick-off 7.45pm.

A win for City would see the Candystripes take top spot in the table with only five games remaining for Stephen Kenny’s side.

Barry Molloy and Shane McEleney are ruled out for City through suspension, however, Danny Lafferty returns to the squad after serving a ban.

Eddie McCallion and Michael McCrudden are both struggling with injuries but should be fine to be included in the squad.

Derry boss Stephen Kenny said: "It's been said that the title race is between Sligo Rovers and Shamrock Rovers - and that is fine by us.

"We have a tough run-in but everything is still in our own hands."

Shane O'Connor is missing for Bray as he is serving a suspension after he was sent off last Sunday at Tallaght Stadium.

Chris Shields picked up a knock against Shamrock Rovers and is a doubt ahead of tonight’s trip to Derry.

Otherwise, Bray have no other injury worries ahead of the game.

Bray boss Pat Devlin said: "I'm looking forward to our trip to Derry. It’s not going to be easy but we will give it our best shot.”
