Oman and Kelly missing as Hoops return to domestic action

Shamrock Rovers return to domestic duties with a league clash against Drogheda United at Tallaght Stadium, kick-off 2.00pm.

Hoops boss Michael O'Neill is likely to make some changes to the side that impressed against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Thursday night.

Ken Oman remains out injured for Rovers. The centre-half is still recovering from a knee injury picked up in Copenhagen.

Dean Kelly is also missing for the Hoops as he is struggling with a groin problem.

Craig Sives appeared to come through the midweek game in London unscathed so he should partner Dan Murray in the centre of the defence.

Goalkeeper Ryan Thompson missed the Europa League clash but should be fit enough to claim a place in the Rovers squad.

Jack Flynn and Colin O'Brien remain out for United.

Lee Lynch is back in contention for a starting berth, while Mark O'Brien is suspended.

Goalkeeper Robert Duggan is struggling with his fitness and is a doubt to face his former club.

United boss Mick Cooke said: "Firstly I'd like to congratulate Michael O'Neill and Shamrock Rovers on their performance against Tottenham on Thursday night. They did the league proud and it was a fantastic display.

"We are looking forward to going to Tallaght on Sunday but we won't expect any hangover from Thursday night. They have a big and formidable squad and they will be fully focused on the league now."
