Cork City boss Tim Clancy will have to plan without key midfielder Barry Coffey for the next three fixtures following the verdict of his red card dismissal against UCD last Friday night. 

Looking to keep City's one-nil lead intact heading into the final moments of the game, Coffey stopped a Ciarán Behan-led UCD counter-attack.
