HUTTON HEADACHE AS DERRY CITY FACE ST PATRICK’S (KICK-OFF 7.45 PM)

Peter Hutton without five key players going into this evening’s game against St Patrick’s

DERRY City manager Peter Hutton is facing a player availability headache going into tonight’s Airtricity League clash against St Patrick’s.

Three Candy Stripe players – defenders Ryan McBride, Dean Jarvis and Shaun Kelly – are extremely doubtful through injury.

The manager is also without Mark Timlin who is suspended.

And Stephen Dooley is still absent through injury as the Brandywell team head to Richmond Park for the 7.45 pm game.

Said Peter Hutton: “It is going to be a difficult game for us.”
