Champions kick off without captain
The Kingdom face Tipperary in the quarter-final of the McGrath Cup (Clonmel, 1.30pm) with their new captain sidelined with a knee injury which may require surgery.
"I'm still in the dark about it really but Michael Lynch (Kerry Physio) had made an appointment for me with Dr Deacy and I will know more after that," O'Sullivan said yesterday. "I will have to give it a few weeks rest and then see what I have to do. It is still giving me a bit of trouble and I will not be rushing back that quickly."
