Dundalk have received a huge boost ahead of their Europa Conference League second qualifying round tie against KA Akureyri in Iceland with Gibraltar international Louie Annesley and top scorer Patrick Hoban declared fit for the game at Framvöllur (kick-off 7pm Irish time).

Both players sat out the Co Louth side’s 1-0 win over Shamrock Rovers in the FAI Cup on Sunday having picked up knocks in the Lilywhites’ 3-1 win over Bruno’s Magpies less than 72 hours earlier.
