Bernard Brogan targeting August return from surgery

Alan Brogan expects that his brother Bernard will be aiming to return to action for Dublin in the latter stages of the Championship, despite undergoing cruciate surgery last week.

Brogan believes his younger sibling damaged the knee ligament in a shooting drill, during training, after apparently losing the ball in floodlights.

He appreciates that an inter-county return for his sibling is a long shot, but knows him enough to say that he will be gunning to play again this year for the All-Ireland champions.
