Cork City manager Colin Healy has confirmed that the injury Ally Gilchrist suffered in the 1-1 draw away to Longford Town on Saturday evening is not as bad as first feared.

Gilchrist has been a rock in the heart of the City defence ever since he joined the club from Shelbourne and the Rebel Army were concerned he was set to spend a prolonged period on the sidelines at a crucial stage in the season.
