Kildare are preparing for Sunday’s Leinster SFC final against Dublin in Croke Park without the services of three of their most experienced and influential players.

Paul Cribbin’s season was already ended when he fractured two bones in his leg following an awkward fall during the Allianz Football League Division 2 promotion play-off against Meath last month but Kildare’s injury problems were exacerbated during their Leinster semi-final win over Westmeath.
