Wicklow sweat on Hyland fitness

Wicklow star Ciarán Hyland is a doubt for the Garden County’s All-Ireland qualifier against Waterford on June 30 after sustaining an injury while supporting the Republic of Ireland in the European Championships.

Hyland, who travelled to the tournament finals in Poland with his brothers, went over on his ankle and is receiving intensive treatment from team physiotherapist Clifford Murphy. However, manager Harry Murphy remains unsure if the defender will be available for the first round clash.

Manager Murphy said: “We will have to wait and see until the swelling goes down and we may not know until the Saturday of the game if Ciarán will be available to play.” Wicklow arecertain to be without captain Leighton Glynn, who broke his ankle in their Leinster SFC loss to Meath.
