Last season’s topscorer, who was dropped from the squad which drew 0-0 with Limerick on Monday, seems to have fallen out of favour with boss Roddy Collins and isn’t likely to feature against the Students.

The Brandywell men will have duo Ryan McBride and Danny Ventre again available for selection, but midfield pair Barry Molloy and Barry McNamee are expected to miss out.

Sentinel Sport’s Editor Kevin McLaughlin spoke to Collins after training at the Vale Centre this afternoon.

Incidentally Friday evening’s game will be live on both Radio Foyle and Drive 105.3FM.
