Thankfully, there were only positive reasons for Chloe Mustaki's failure to take the field on Wednesday night.
The midfielder was stripped and ready for her first appearance in 17 months as Shelbourne chased a winner at home to Bohemians to keep their title challenge on track.
Then Pearl Slattery struck, the captain netting the decisive goal in the ninth minute of injury time, and the substitution was put on hold.
