Miskella proving Cork’s biggest injury worry

JOHN MISKELLA is Cork’s biggest injury concern after Sunday’s league final win over Dublin, but will have to wait to assess the extent of the back problem he sustained in the Croke Park clash.

Miskella has had difficulties with his back in the past and was withdrawn from his centre-back role before half-time.

The Ballincollig man was one of three Cork players that were forced off through injury in a nine-minute first-half spell. Wing-forward Fintan Goold suffered an ankle injury when fouled by Dublin defender Ger Brennan, while corner-forward Paul Kerrigan aggravated a hamstring injury that he incurred during a club league game with Nemo Rangers last weekend.
