Eoin Bradley could be set for a shock return to the Coleraine line-up in Saturday's Premiership match at Cliftonville.

The striker says he has recovered after suffering a punctured lung and broken ribs last month and is ready to play again.

The third-placed Reds are four points ahead of the Bannsiders and manager Gerard Lyttle says tomorrow could be a key day in the race for Europe.



The other big match in Belfast sees Glentoran hosting Linfield.

The Glens have two narrow defeats and a draw against the Blues this season.

But manager Gary Haveron says they'll have to do better as they battle for a place in the Europa League play-offs.


After champagne success last weekend, it's back to bread and butter this Saturday for League Cup winners Ballymena United.

David Jeffrey's fifth-placed Sky Blues return to Premiership action with a trip to Ballinamallard.

Cup final goalscorer Conor McCloskey says the players didn't overdo their celebrations this week ahead of a tough test against the Fermanagh men.


Ballymena have received a boost ahead of the game with captain Jim Ervin signing a one-year contract extension.

Meanwhile, Glenavon have moved to strengthen their squad by signing midfielder Chris Turner.
