Shelbourne -v- Wexford Youths
Credit:
Shelbourne will look to continue the form that saw them win away at
Monaghan United last week when they face Wexford Youths at home
tomorrow night (kick-off 7.45pm).
Shelbourne come into this game after a 2-0 win away to Monaghan United, which leaves Dermot Keely’s team in fifth place, just three points outside the final playoff place.
The home side are favourites despite having a number of key players missing through injury and suspension.
Among the injured players is Shels' top scorer this season, midfielder Eric Foley. Stephen Quigley, Michael Coburn, Ray Scully and Colin O'Brien are also out through injury.
Paul Shiels is serving the second week of his suspension following the red card he received against Derry City in the Brandywell earlier this month.
Facing the problem of a depleted squad, Shels manager Dermot Keely is likely to call a number of the 'A' Championship squad into the first team. David McGill returns for the Reds after his own layoff through injury.
The Youths are also coming into the match on winning form, having beaten local rivals Waterford United 1-0 last week. A last minute Jimmy Keohane gaol handed Wexford the deserved three points.
Lee Aust missed the Waterford match with flu but should return.
