Tommy Walsh is likely to be available for selection for Kilkenny’s All-Ireland final against Tipperary next month in Croke Park.
Kilkenny GAA were thinking the worst after Walsh suffered a shoulder injury in a club match last Sunday.
An X-ray, however, revealed that no serious damage had been done, and that the Tullaroan man should be fit and ready by 5 September.
Henry Shefflin, however, will definitely miss the final with a cruciate injury.
“Henry’s cruciate is gone. End of story,†said Kilkenny selector Martin Fogarty.
“Henry is trying to build up the knee so that he is in the best condition possible before he has to face the surgeon.
‘If there is something still intact, that’s fine, but if it’s totally gone, the more work he has done to build up the knee pre-operation, the quicker his recovery will be.”
