DERRY CITY ENDURE TOUGH TRIP TO ARMENIA

Derry City will train tonight in the match stadium for tomorrow night’s
Champions League qualifier second leg against FC Pyunik of Armenia.

Derry had a nightmare journey to Armenia travelling via Heathrow,
Prague and Yerevan where they encountered visa difficulties on arrival.

After finally resolving the visa issues, the squad only got to their
hotel at 7am local time today.

The Candystripes have no injury concerns but the temperature in
Yerevan today touched 40 celsius, with a high level of humidity so
preparations are far from ideal for John Robertson’s men.
