Video: Cork City's Greg Bolger still nurturing Sweden dream

Cork City’s Greg Bolger, who has been named the SSE Airtricity/Soccer Writers’ Association of Ireland Player of the Month for June, is still hoping he’ll be fit to play in the Europa League game against BC Hacken in Sweden on Thursday.

“I did something to my ankle (in the previous round against Linfield),” says the midfielder. “I got a scan and there was a bit of a ligament issue but I’m hoping to be okay for the game in Sweden. It takes two or four weeks but I’ve been getting treatment every day for two weeks and the medical team here are top notch.

“Hopefully I’m right for Thursday. These are the games you want to play in, against better opposition than we’re probably used to playing in the league. I watched a few of their clips and they look decent. They’ve a few internationals. We’ll focus on the next two weeks in Europe and hopefully we can progress. But it’s going to be tough.”
