Treacy out for Dubs and O’Callaghan doubtful

DUBLIN attacker David Treacy has been ruled out of next Sunday’s Leinster SHC quarter-final against Laois with a hamstring injury while David O’Callaghan is rated ‘40/60 against’ to prove his fitness in time for the Nowlan Park clash.

Both Peter Kelly and Tomás Brady have recovered from recent injuries and are set to start, but Treacy will be sidelined and if Dublin are successful, the Cuala man is also likely to miss the Leinster SHC semi-final against Kilkenny on June 20th. Having suffered the injury in the NHL game against Galway, Treacy suffered a relapse in a recent internal challenge in which he lined out for the Dublin U21’s against the seniors and also faces a race against time to play some part in the U21’s Leinster opener against Offaly or Kilkenny on June 23.

The prognosis on O’Callaghan is slightly more positive and he will receive regular physio treatment during the week.
