Dundalk will be missing a number of players for tomorrow’s Europa Conference League first round tie against Newtown following the results of routine Covid-19 tests.

The Welsh visitors to Oriel Park were already without four players due to the coronavirus-related issues but the hosts have suffered their own problems on the eve of the first leg, described as a “minor Covid-19 outbreak”.
