Horan: ‘So far, so good’ on O’Connor’s recovery

James Horan isn’t certain Cillian O’Connor will be fit for Mayo’s All-Ireland final date with Dublin but revealed his recovery is going to plan.

His fellow Ballintubber club man suffered an aggravation of his shoulder injury in the semi-final victory over Tyrone last month. However, he has returned to non-contact training and Horan said they are attempting to speed up the recuperation period in time to face Dublin.

“He’s with the medical team. He’s rehabbing very well. He’s working a couple of times a day with the physios. I don’t think anyone knows. We’re just looking to see can he be a competitive option for selection.
