Ace striker John O’Flynn looks set to miss out on Cork City’s clash with Derry City at Turner’s Cross with a thigh strain.
O’Flynn has notched up three goals in four games since returning to the starting XI after a month’s absence though he will again be missing on Friday as Pat Dolan’s men look to make it ten League games unbeaten.
Kevin Doyle (hamstring) would normally replace O’Flynn in attack though his absence means that Dolan must choose whether to call in Denis Behan or move George O’Callaghan forward from midfield to partner Neale Fenn.
Right back Cillian Lordan is also doubtful with a thigh strain meaning Greg O’Halloran will start in defence.
Cork drew with League leaders Shelbourne on Tuesday night and Dolan is hoping that his side brings the same form into the clash with Derry. “We played very well and got what we deserved from the game. Now we’ve got to bring that into this game and hopefully keep them out as well,” he said.
Managerless Derry City have just one absentee with Gerry Gill sitting is Leaving Certificate and caretaker player-manager Peter Hutton is hoping that after finally ending their seven game run without a goal and a victory, they can make it two wins in a row to help them away from the relegation danger zone.
“It was good to get the result and the goals, but we can’t rest on our laurels. We’ve got to continue on in the next few games to get ourselves up the table.”
