Shefflin out with foot injury

Henry Shefflin looks almost certain to miss Kilkenny’s Leinster quarter-final against Offaly after suffering a stress fracture in his foot.

Shefflin would have been expected to make his 66th championship appearance for the Cats in Nowlan Park on June 6 but is facing four weeks on the sidelines as a result of his latest injury.

The 35-year-old suffered a blow to his foot during Kilkenny’s Allianz HL final victory over Tipperary last Sunday but trained on Tuesday night.
