Finn Harps will be without the services of skipper Kevin McHugh when the side host Bray Wanderers tomorrow.
The striker looks set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a severe finger injury in an accident.
Yesterday, the 36 year old tweeted a gruesome image of his ring finger almost severed, captioned: "Think that's my season over..."
He was taking a coaching session in county Donegal and had been climbing over a fence to retrieve a football when his wedding ring got caught.

The former Derry City player then drove himself to Letterkenny University Hospital before he was transferred to Galway by ambulance.
He's due to undergo surgery this morning.
