Gildea won't rule out return

Star Donegal midfielder John Gildea has refused to rule out a dramatic return to action in the county colours this year.

It had been reported that a painful leg fracture would keep the All-Ireland quarter-final star, 31, sidelined for up to 12 months.

But Gildea said it was only a minor gash and that it was actually the need for a long break which was making him think about his future.
