City ace O’Flynn faces late fitness test

CORK CITY striker John O’Flynn will undergo a late fitness test for tonight’s clash with Shamrock Rovers at Richmond Park.

He injured an abdominal muscle when helping Cork beat Dublin City 3-1 last week and has missed some training sessions. O'Flynn played his first competitive match in six months in the Turners Cross victory and this new injury was a setback.

"Hopefully this will not prove too serious," said manager Pat Dolan. "There is always the risk when you come back from injury that you pick up a muscle strain like this but John is a quick healer and I expect he will play."
