Regi Nootimeer is out injured for United as he is recovering from a knee injury.

Daryl Robson will not play due to a family bereavement.

For Drogheda, Stuart Byrne and Shane Robinson are doubtful for the Galway trip.

Captain Byrne took a heavy knock on his shin and is extremely doubtful, while Shane Robinson’s foot injury, incurred in the home game with Galway a few weeks ago, has still not cleared up and he was due for a CAT scan to confirm the extent of the problem.

The good news for United is that Richie Baker is back to full fitness and will probably make his return.
