Defender Davy Munster is also a doubt with an ankle injury, forcing Ferguson to reshuffle his pack as he attempts to guide the Sky Blues into asixth round tie at Linfield.

“We’re a bit low on numbers but we should still have enough to put out a decent squad,” said Ferguson.

They have two proven goalscorers up top in Josh Cahoon and Matty Burrows, and we know what we’ll have to do in the replay,” the manager added.
