Déise sweating on young star Shanahan

MAURICE SHANAHAN is a major injury concern for Waterford’s hurlers ahead of next Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final against Galway in Thurles.

The Lismore clubman, younger brother of former county star Dan, damaged his hamstring after coming on as sub against Tipperary in the Munster SHC final over a fortnight ago.

Shanahan didn’t train last week in the wake of the 21-point defeat and his chances of being available for next weekend depend on his ability to do some work this week.
