Cork City travel without dad-to-be Fenn
Cork City face a difficult clash against Lithuanian league leaders Ekranes tonight in the UEFA Cup, with star striker Neale Fenn missing.
Cork went to the third qualifying round of the Intertoto last season by beating Malmo of Sweden and Nijmegen of Holland before losing on a 2-4 aggregate to French team Nantes.
However, they know little of the Lithuanian side apart from scouting reports from assistant manager Dave Hill, who watched them last week.
Ekranes are currently 12 points clear of all rivals in the Lithuanian league and with three international players in their ranks they are a quality team.
Cork will have to plan without Fenn as the striker remained at home to attend the birth of his first child, meaning Denis Behan will start in attack.
Liam Kearney has an infection, but he is expected to start on the left wing.
