Kelly back for Galway
Galway United boss Ian Foster will be boosted by the return of Sean Kelly as his side travel to Dublin to face St Patrick's Athletic at Richmond Park tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.
Alan Murphy is fit and should also feature, while Shane Fitzgerald may make the squad after a prolonged spell on the sidelines.
Derek O'Brien remains doubtful with a hamstring injury, although Dave Cooke returns from suspension.
Mark Quigley (jaw), Gints Friemanis (hand), Mark Leech (leg) and Gary Dempsey (leg) are all out for Saints.
Glen Fitzpatrick picked up a knock in the match against Cork but is expected to be fit and Damian Lynch is expected to return to the squad following an ankle injury.
John Lester returns following a two-match suspension.
St Pat’s boss Jeff Kenna said: “For the first Galway game at Richmond (0-3) we were too open, we were hit badly on the break and we caused a lot of our own problems that night.
“But the second game in Galway (2-1) was a far more even contest. Obviously it would be good to beat them and redress the results but I’m not looking at it like that.
“Galway United is simply our next game and we need to keep building consistent performances.”
