One tested positive and the second was deemed a close contact. Both were cases away from the club and the rest of the squad were cleared to depart for Iceland.

Bohemians are also in Iceland, against Stjarnan from 8.45.

Bohs striker Georgie Kelly is top of the Premier Division goal scoring standings and wants to contribute tonight again on the European front.
