WE’LL BE UP FOR IT - JEFF Kenna

Gints Friemanis (hand) and Mark Quigley (jaw) remain out injured.

Both Gary Dempsey and Mark Leech have resumed full training this week and though unlikely to start may well feature.

Manager's Quote:
“Training this week has gone really well, all the players realise the scale of the challenge we face and they're really looking forward to it.

For me as a manager and for the players it's great to be involved in European nights like this it will be difficult job for us but we'll be positive and we'll be up for it on the night.

Whether we counter their play or play our own game it's important that we don't concede a goal.

We'd love to score but it will be a difficult task in itself going over there so it's important to keep the tie alive.

They are a really good side with plenty of internationals and with the support of a fantastic budget but as I say - we'll be up for it” – Jeff Kenna.
