Walsh unlikely to feature in replay

TOMMY WALSH is unlikely to feature in Kerry’s Munster Championship semi-final replay against Cork on Saturday despite undergoing a scan yesterday which showed no evidence of new damage to the attacker’s injured ankle.

The Kerins O’Rahilly club man first suffered the injury in training nine days before the drawn game and, though it responded well to treatment, he had to retire with the same complaint after ten minutes of the Killarney contest.

Speaking prior to the scan in Dublin yesterday he revealed that the ankle felt much the same as it did seven days previously, which would suggest a watching brief second time around, but the team management will take a ‘wait and see’ approach until later in the week.
