Tribesmen praying for good news on Hanley

Galway captain Finian Hanley will today learn if he will be available for the All-Ireland qualifiers next month.

Hanley is set for a scan on a serious shoulder injury which forced him to go off in the second half of the surprise Connacht semi-final loss to Sligo on Saturday night. Manager Alan Mulholland said he was hopeful that his full-back is not as seriously injured as initially feared.

“He’s in a sling and it is a matter of assessing just how bad it is. It may be a dislocation or an issue with the A/C joint but the picture should be a lot clearer once he has the scan. Hopefully, it will not be as serious as we feared and that he will be back in time for the qualifiers next month.
