Cork defender Eoin Cadogan says he’s confident of being back in time for the Rebels’ Munster SHC clash with Waterford next month after undergoing a “minor surgical procedure” Wednesday on a troublesome back issue.

Cadogan (34) described the issue as a “low-grade recurring complaint”, and said he expected to make a swift and full recovery to return to Cork’s preparations for the joust with Liam Cahill’s Waterford, most likely in Thurles on the weekend of October 31st.
