MOUNTING INJURIES AHEAD OF DUBLIN DERBY

Bohemians v Sligo Rovers - SSE Airtricity League Premier Division

ST PATRICK’S ATHLETIC v BOHEMIANS
SSE Airtricity League, Richmond Park, Friday 26 August, 7.45pm

Bohemians will be without defenders Stephen Best (ankle) and Derek Pender (suspended but also suffering with a thigh injury) for tomorrow’s Dublin derby at Richmond Park.

Both were forced off due to injury during last Friday’s 2-0 defeat to Derry City in the Irish Daily Mail FAI Cup.

There are selection concerns up front too with Mark Quigley (hamstring) set to miss out, while Ismahil Akinade remains a doubt with illness that saw him sit out two of Bohs’ last three games.

Goalkeeper Shane Supple, who suffered an ankle injury against Cork City a fortnight ago, returned to training this week and is available for selection.

Under-19s Warren O’Hara and Dean Casey will be included in the squad.
