Shefflin to get second opinion on injury

Kilkenny GAA officials are to seek a second opinion on the cruciate ligament injury which is set to keep Henry Shefflin out of next month's All-Ireland SHC final.

Scans on the knee injury sustained by Shefflin in last Sunday's 3-22 to 1-19 semi-final win over Cork revealed that he had torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of his left knee.
