Dundalk FC caretaker manager Jim Magilton is ‘extremely disappointed’ with the Faroese FA in relation to Sonni Nattestad’s unavailability since returning from international duty.
The Faroe Islands international defender – who joined Dundalk from B36 Torshavn back in January – has so far played just one match in the SSE Airtricity League for his new club.
His sole appearance came in the opening-night draw at Sligo Rovers before flying off to play in World Cup Qualification with the Faroes, where he started three games in just one week.

COVID-19 has scuppered plenty of plans and aspirations over the last year, and Finn Harps defender Stephen Folan is just one of many who has had to adjust his career path as a result.
Folan spent four years at Newcastle United when he was a teenager, and then enjoyed spells with Limerick, Sligo Rovers, Cork City, Galway United, and Dundalk in the League of Ireland.
However, his second season with Dundalk proved to be highly frustrating and he didn’t make one league appearance as the Oriel Park side clinched the Premier Division title.

Dundalk FC host neighbours Drogheda United on Saturday (kick-off, 6pm) at Oriel Park in what will be the first Louth derby to be played in the SSE Airtricity League in four years.
The Lilywhites came desperately close to what would have been their first win of the new season on Tuesday night against Derry City at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.
David McMillan put Dundalk ahead on 53 minutes, but another mistake from goalkeeper Alessio Abibi afforded Cameron McJannett and Derry an equaliser just past the hour-mark.

FEW WOULD HAVE predicted that Drogheda United would be looking down the table at their neighbours by the time they travelled up the M1 for the first Louth derby of the season.
Nevertheless, thanks to Dundalk’s travails and their own promising start, Drogs are the in-form team going into tomorrow evening’s fixture at Oriel Park.
