Shefflin’s sensational return to training

KILKENNY star Henry Shefflin could be on course for a sensational appearance in the All-Ireland SHC decider against Tipperary on Sunday week after taking a full part in team training last night in Nowlan Park with almost 8,000 people watching on.

Shefflin looked certain to miss the final after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the first-half of the All-Ireland semi-final earlier this month against Cork.

However, following intensive treatment with renowned physio Ger Hartman in Limerick, Shefflin appears to have made a remarkable recovery.
