Shefflin’s waiting game on return

Kilkenny legend Henry Shefflin hasn’t set a date for his return to hurling.

The eight-time All-Ireland medal winner won’t be part of the panel for Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League final against Cork as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery performed in November.

“I am not going to go back playing unless I am right. I don’t think I could face another long lay-off if I got injured again,” said Shefflin who has endured two severed cruciates in his incredible career.
