Bohemians must plan without captain Kevin Hunt and striker Tony Grant for the next fortnight after both picked up injuries during the Gypsies 3-2 victory over Drogheda United on Friday.

Both players were forced off with injuries with Hunt suffering a thigh strain and Grant a shoulder problem and player-manager Gareth Farrelly confirmed that both will miss the next two weeks.

“They’ll both be out for a couple of weeks and that’s a blow,” said Farrelly.

But Farrelly is confident that his paper thin squad can cope with new signing from St Patrick’s Athletic, Aiden O’Keeffe, expected to replace Grant in attack while Mark O’Brien and John Paul Kelly can cover for Hunt in midfield.
