Dundalk forward Danny Mullen is facing a race against time to be fit for Friday’s crucial Premier Division match against Galway United. Mullen sustained a freak ankle injury, leaving his participation in doubt. The nature of the injury is currently undisclosed, but it’s deemed significant enough to put him at risk of missing the game. This presents a setback for Dundalk, as Mullen has been a key player in their attacking lineup. His potential absence will likely force manager Stephen O’Donnell to consider alternative options upfront. The club is assessing the severity of the injury and hoping for a positive update, but Mullen's availability remains uncertain as the game approaches.
