O’Shea set for bench role after three-month spell on sidelines

Despite being sidelined for almost three months with a stomach muscle injury, Aidan O’Shea looks set to be named among the Mayo substitutes for Sunday’s Connacht SFC final against Sligo.

The 22 year-old took a full part in last weekend’s final ‘A’ v ‘B’ trial match in Castlebar and suffered no adverse reaction.

However, O’Shea’s older brother, Seamus (groin), Peadar Gardiner (foot) and Aidan Campbell (hip) have all been ruled out of next weekend’s showpiece in Roscommon.
