St Patrick's Ath v Bray Wanderers (Richmond Park, 7.45): St Patrick's Athletic manager John McDonnell is reluctant to speculate on Colm Foley's injury situation after his captain suffered a worrying setback when breaking down in training last week following the operation he had in the close season to repair the cruciate ligament in a knee.

The central defender had a scan on the injury last night but won't go back to see the specialist for a full assessment until Monday.

"Colm says it's not in the same area of the knee so we're hoping it may just be a twinge," said McDonnell who has other injury concerns ahead of tonight's league meeting with Bray Wanderers.

Under-21 goalkeeper Gavin McInerney has been drafted into the squad as cover for Barry Ryan as Brendan Clarke is out for a month with a broken bone in a foot. Winger Mark Rutherford (hamstring) is now out for a fortnight while defender Stephen Caffrey's groin strain will sideline him for another week at least.

Bray, who have yet to win, wait on defender-cum-midfielder Wes Charles who came off with a knee injury in Friday's 0-0 draw with Cork City. Defender Stephen Gifford remains out with a calf strain.
