Galway United take on Dundalk without the suspended Karl Sheppard. Rhys Meynell picked up a cartilage injury last Sunday and he is a doubt. Young left back Steven Walsh may make his League of Ireland full debut if Meynell misses out. Jason Molloy maybe added to the squad if he passes a fitness test.

Left side player James Creaney departed the club during the week.

United were unlucky not to get a point last week against Shamrock Rovers. Speaking after the game Seaon Connor said:

"I am not too distraught because when you get that sort of effort and commitment and style of football from your team, it really does perk you up."

“We have had a tough couple of weeks. It has been frustrating because I have been actively trying to cut my wage bill. It has been hard because we have a very small squad.”

Connor said all the players have remained fully focused and had shown “in front of the television cameras” how committed and focused they were.

“It would have been lovely to get the three points. I don't think we deserved to be beaten. I think we deserved to win the game, we certainly didn't deserve to lose the game.”

"There probably will be more departures during the week unless there is a dramatic change in the circumstances. What we have had with the last two gates have been excellent, and we hope for another one against Dundalk. Realistically, though, we are running out of time to replace people, if I am allowed the opportunity to replace people. Right now it is a matter of trying to reduce the wage bill and keep the club afloat.”

“At the start of the year I said it would be easy for us to feel sorry for ourselves, but I am not about that. I think if we get our best players on the park, we are a match for any side. We showed that against Shamrock Rovers. I want to keep climbing the table and I still believe we can catch teams above us. I believe we can catch UCD and Dundalk.”

KO: Sunday 25th July, 7pm, Terryland Park.
