annihilation of Offaly.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n\u201cHe’s up for a scan some day this week so hopefully he’ll get good news out of that, but he looks under pressure at the moment anyway,\u201d the Cork manager said at Monday night\u2019s League final media briefing.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe’ll have another four or five weeks ahead of him at least, but we won’t know more until he’s scanned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he hurt it, he didn’t know how bad it was because he was never injured before. It’s the first time that he is sitting out and watching fellas training, so it is not nice for him. It is just all part of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The older he gets, he’ll figure out how to pass his time. It is just unfortunate for him, especially after a breakthrough season last year. Getting to a League final, he is going to lose out on that now, as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elsewhere on the injury front, Brian Roche has been nursing an ankle injury of late, while his brother Eoin picked up a knock while on club duty for Bride Rovers, against Na Piarsaigh, over the weekend.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Connor had mentioned post-match on Saturday night that Alan Connolly picked up a bang against Offaly, but reported a clean bill of health for the Rockies forward.<\/p>\n
Casting an eye to Sunday week, O\u2019Connor said Cork will be travelling to Limerick gung-ho on defending their League title.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted [to get to the final]. I was saying to the boys earlier that I was over watching in Thurles in 1998 when we won the League, and we didn’t win it again until last year. The goal at the start of the year was to get to the final. We are after getting to the final and now we want to win it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cork half-forward Diarmuid Healy is facing at least another five weeks on the sideline, manager Ben O\u2019Connor confirmed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1965,1964,61,60,112],"class_list":["post-361777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-hurling","tag-cork-gaa","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
