Donegal remain on Gooch watch

Jim McGuinness admits Donegal must consider the possibility Colm Cooper will feature in Sunday week’s All-Ireland final.

McGuinness’ opposite number Eamonn Fitzmaurice maintains the 31-year-old won’t feature for Kerry this season despite featuring in the warm-up prior to the semi-final replay win over Mayo in Limerick last Saturday week.

Cooper is now seven months down the road from a cruciate tear and fractured kneecap sustained in Dr Crokes’ All-Ireland club SFC semi-final defeat to Castlebar Mitchels in Portlaoise.
