Galway boosted by pair's return ahead of derby
Sligo Rovers will be hoping to maintain their good league form when they travel to Terryland Park to take on Galway United tonight, kick-off 7.45pm.
Rovers will be without midfielder John Dillon as he is struggling with a back injury which kept him out of the dramatic 4-3 win against Sporting Fingal on Friday.
There are no other injuries to report ahead of the match with Tribesmen, apart from long-term absentees Mauro Almeida and Richard Brush.
Rovers moved to fourth in the table with victory over Fingal. The Bit o’ Red went 4-0 up but were left sweating at the end after a late fightback from the 2009 FAI Cup holders.
Rovers have not won in Terryland Park since the opening day of the 2007 Premier Division season.
The Bit o’ Red are unbeaten against Sean Connor’s side this season, taking seven points from three matches.
United will be hoping to bounce back after their 4-0 defeat to Bray Wanderers on Friday.
And Sean Connor’s side are boosted by the return of Rhys Meynell and Paul Sinnott. Ciaran Foley may also be in line for a return.
