Kerry wait on scan but James O’Donoghue injury fears ease

Kerry will wait for an MRI scan later this week on James O’Donoghue’s injured shoulder before determining his chances of being back in action for the All-Ireland semi-final on August 23rd.

The footballer of the year dislocated his right shoulder before half-time in Sunday’s runaway quarter-final victory over Kildare, raising concerns that his season could be over.

However, it was confirmed yesterday that Kerry team physio Eddie Harnett, with the help of team doctor, Dr Lynda O’Callaghan was able to ‘reduce’, or pop back in the shoulder on the pitch at the time.
