‘Fingers crossed’ for injured Cork star O’Neill

Cork football bosses are keeping their “fingers very much crossed” as they await the scan results on a knee injury sustained by Colm O’Neill in their Allianz League victory over Donegal on Saturday night.

The Ballyclough attacker went down after receiving a pass in the 16th minute, with fears he sustained a third cruciate ligament injury, after setbacks in 2008 and 2011.

“It’s disappointing for Colm,” manager Conor Counihan admitted. “We don’t know the extent of it yet, the medics won’t have a clear view until he has a scan done. We’re keeping our fingers very much crossed.”
