Injuries force McKee and Coman out of men’s team

PAUL McKEE and Tomas Coman have withdrawn from the Irish men’s team for this weekend’s European Cup match in Aarhous.

McKee, the world indoor bronze medallist who impressed on his seasonal outdoor debut in a high class 400m field in Seville, withdrew from the squad yesterday with a hamstring injury.

After an 18 month lay-off, Coman made a spectacular return to competitive athletics in Cottbus where he finished second to Jamaica’s Danny McFarlane and ahead of European champion Ingo Schultz. But he has been forced out due to a thigh strain.
