O’Gara wrist injury a worry for Dublin

EOGHAN O’GARA’S season hangs in the balance after he sustained a suspected fractured wrist in Sunday’s Leinster SFC defeat of Wexford.

The big attacker suffered the injury in the opening half of the Croke Park victory and the joint was heavily strapped during the post-match celebrations and again yesterday at a photo launch for the annual Tomás Mulligan Memorial Cycle in aid of Pieta House, the suicide crisis centre. The Templeogue/Synge Street man could be facing up to eight weeks out of football, which would leave him battling to be fit for an All-Ireland semi-final, should Pat Gilroy’s side progress to that stage.

Tomás Quinn and Kevin McManamon are the players who could benefit from the absence of O’Gara.
