Adam Mitchell returns from suspension after missing the trip to Galway last Friday.

Bray’s Director of Football Pat Devlin said: "Dundalk are on a poor run just now, but they will come to Bray looking for the three points. It is going to be a tough encounter and we are looking forward to it.”

Dundalk must plan without Eoghan Osborne who remains out with a fractured tibia and will remain out for at least another two months.

Jason Byrne remains out with a hamstring strain, while Stephen McDonnell (knee) remains a long term absentee. Stephen Maher is also set to miss out as he recovers from a groin strain.

Dundalk manager Ian Foster said: “At the moment, we don’t train – we recover and we prepare, and it’s difficult to organise your players in the manner that you’d want to and put the preparation in that you should do, because we just can’t risk injury.

“It’s unfortunate, but we will work incredibly hard to address the poor run of results that we’re on, and hopefully we can pick something up on Friday in Bray.”
