Finn Harps will be looking for their first points of the season on Saturday evening when they face Shamrock Rovers at Finn Park.
But they are likely to be without Chris Breen (thigh) who is rated doubtful after limping out of last week's 2-1 defeat by Waterford United while Kevin McHugh also remains on the absent list.
Manager Felix Healy is reasonably happy with his side’s progress despite the fact that they remain pointless after two games.
“We should have won in Waterford and our performance and if we play like that, we will be okay,” he said.
Shamrock Rovers meanwhile will be at full strength with Martin Cameron likely to return in attack.
