Andrew McGowan has admitted an earlier than anticipated return from injury for Kilmacud Crokes colleague Paul Mannion this weekend is unlikely.

Defender McGowan, on the bench for Dublin's All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Kerry last year, reckons it would be 'a bit of a stretch' for the three-time All-Star to play any part against Kerins O'Rahillys.
