Finn Harps manager Ollie Horgan is sweating over the fitness of a number of key players ahead of their historic clash with Shamrock Rovers B at Tallaght Stadium today.
Influential Harps defender Ciaran Coll remains a major doubt for the clash.
Kevin McHugh has been ruled out for the trip to Dublin, he had been carrying a niggling hamstring injury prior to last week’s clash with Waterford, but aggravated the injury further last Friday night and sat out Harps victory over Cockhill Celtic on Monday night.
Ciaran Coll is also a major doubt, he sat out training on Tuesday and Thursday night and now is in a race against time to get fit.
Sean McCarron is also struggling but it is hoped he will recover.
Damien McNulty missed the League Cup clash with Cockhill Celtic but he is expected to make a return this weekend.
Meanwhile, Josh Mailey has returned to full training and will play for the Finn Harps reserves side this weekend, Gareth Harkin remains sidelined with a hamstring complaint.
Shaun Patton is struggling with a back injury but it’s hoped he will be able to take his place in the squad.
Darragh Black and Chris Flanagan are in the Irish International Schoolboys squad to play Northern Ireland tomorrow and neither will be in the Harps first team squad for the Ballybofey club’s first ever trip to Tallaght.
