FAI Cup finalists Cork City are believed to have a contract crisis on their hands.
The Leesiders currently have five players out of contract, while others were reportedly set to be offered new deals during the summer, but have not received offers.
Meanwhile, the Leesiders are also set to appeal Neal Horgan's cup final ban, while opponents Longford Town will do likewise with Gary Deegan.
Both players have reached the four-booking mark.
