Shefflin expects quick recovery from surgery

Kilkenny superstar Henry Shefflin expects to make a fast return from his latest injury setback.

The 2012 Hurler of the year will undergo surgery in the New Year to sort out an ankle fracture and related ligament damage.

The Ballyhale Shamrocks forward picked up the injury in the Leinster SHC semi-final defeat against Wexford’s Oulart-the-Ballagh on December 1. The full extent of the injury only became apparent in recent days.
