Cork City look set to be without midfielder Alec Byrne for this weekend's SSE Airtricity League First Division trip to runaway leaders Shelbourne (Friday, 7.45pm).

Byrne opened the scoring in the 2-0 win in the Midlands last weekend but later suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury, and manager Colin Healy may have to plan without several other options for the trip to Tolka Park.
