Bray Wanderers entertain Derry City in tonight's eircom League of Ireland Premier Division clash at the Carlisle Grounds, kick-off 7.45pm.

Braw have two injury worries for the clash with Colm Tresson, who missed the game against Bohemians on Monday night, still doubtful with a calf strain picked up in the game against Waterford – he will have a fitness test on Friday.

And Chris Deans received a knock on his ankle at Dalymount Park on Monday and will have to prove his fitness before manager Eddie Gormley decides whether to include him in the squad.

Speaking about the defeat at Dalymount, Gormley said: "I was pleased with the performance but disappointed with the result.

"We are in the early stages of development in Bray and if we keep playing as we are we will be OK.

"I will be looking for three points on Friday night. Our home form of late has been good and we would hope to keep it that way."

Pat McCourt will be missing for Derry and Barry Molloy is doubtful due to family reasons.

New keeper Dave McEwen is also missing after he broke a bone in his hand on Tuesday during a training session.

And Darren Kelly will probably be included in the squad despite the fact that he is looking for a move away from the Brandywell.

New manager John Robertson watched Bray's defeat to Bohemians on Monday but was impressed with what he saw from Gormley's side.

"They are a decent side and they have a couple of good wing backs. They were well in the game against Bohemians but were undone by a lack of experience," he said.
