Ger Millerick battling to be fit for All-Ireland final while veteran Cooper ruled out

Millerick is recovering from a leg strain injury while Cooper is sidelined with an Achilles tendon issue

Ger Millerick is treated for an injury sustained in the All-Ireland semi-final against Kilkenny at Croke Park. 

Cork hurling manager Kieran Kingston will give defender Ger Millerick every chance of making the All-Ireland final and will be “disappointed” if he doesn’t participate in the game on Sunday week.

Millerick left the semi-final with a leg injury but Kingston said this evening: “Ger is responding, he had a strain last week as we know. He’s responding well to treatment so we won’t make a call on his fitness until later in the week, but at the moment we’d be disappointed if he doesn’t have a part to play on Sunday week.
