One change in Shelbourne side to face Linfield in huge Champions League clash

Shelbourne manager Joey O’Brien has named his starting-11 for Wednesday night’s big Champions League clash with Linfield at Windsor Park.

And there is one change to the side that claimed a 1-0 advantage in last week’s first-leg.

Out goes on-loan Liverpool defender James Norris and he is replaced by former Manchester City youth, and ex-Waterford and Bohemians left-back, Tyreke Wilson.

There is no Sean Gannon in the side, despite his appearance on Tuesday evening at the pre-match press conference next to O’Brien.

Gannon is aiming to make his 58th appearance in continental competition, but he will have to wait as he takes his place on the bench in Belfast.

Conor Kearns starts in goal and the back-three is likely to once again be Mark Coyle, Paddy Barrett and Kameron Ledwidge.

JJ Lunney and Kerr McInroy dominated midfield last week and they will renew that partnership, with Evan Caffrey and Wilson providing width.

Mipo Odubeko, last week’s goalscorer, starts again up-front, with Harry Wood and Ali Coote supporting him.

Sean Boyd, whose substitution last week sparked Shelbourne’s attack into life, once again starts on the bench.
