Pat Ryan expects Seamus Harnedy lay-off

Cork selector Pat Ryan was left ruing the injury sustained by Seamus Harnedy in yesterday’s defeat to Galway and fears the attacker will miss the game against Waterford next week.

“Seamus pulled his hamstring just before he got the goal. We were about to take him off, actually, when he got the goal. We got him off before it was too badly pulled, but it’s disappointing. Will he be right for next week? I wouldn’t think so, no. Patrick Cronin had to go off as well, he got a belt to the head and he’s got three or four stitches in that, but it’s not too bad. He’s not concussed or anything.”

Yesterday’s defeat doesn’t augur well for next week, given Waterford had the better of last year’s exchanges with Cork.
