Lee Grace and Aidomo Emakhu to miss Shamrock Rovers' Flora Tallinn playoff

Lee Grace and Aidomo Emakhu are out of Shamrock Rovers’ playoff clash with Flora Tallinn in Estonia tomorrow.

The centre-back and striker - who scored the winner at home to Teuta - shipped unspecified knocks and will play no part in the Europa Conference League first-leg tie.

Rovers arrived in Tallinn today and Hoops boss Stephen Bradley said: "Young Aidomo and Lee have picked up knocks and won't be involved."

"Both of them have been doing really well. Lee has really got back to himself in the last number of weeks in terms of his levels.

"Young Aidomo has come in and done really well so it's disappointing to lose both of them. Hopefully, they are not too bad and we can have them back next week."

Bradley knows his starting team for tomorrow and said: “This squad is really strong. We don't look to have a first eleven.

“We pick a team that we feel is suited to winning that particular game. Tomorrow night will be no different."

Bradley wants his League of Ireland champions to embrace the pressure that goes with being one round away from the group stages.

He added: "That’s what you work for, that’s why you work so hard to win the league.

"This is another chance for us to get better and take another step forward. This group always responds to that and we’re looking forward to it.”
