Sean Og O hAilpin reckons there’s “no chance†he’ll be fit for Saturday’s Munster final replay against Waterford.
O hAilpin limped off with a hamstring injury during the second half of Sunday’s dramatic draw at Semple Stadium.
In his latest exclusive column for JOE, the three-time All Star winner wrote, “I got a ball off Cathal Naughton and was coming out of a tackle and when I took a stride I just felt my hamstring going. I tried to run on it for a minute or two afterwards, I could half-jog but couldn’t sprint. The best thing there is to come off. You’re no good to the team.
“I missed a bit of the league with a hamstring injury earlier this year but this is a totally different injury. Down the bottom of the muscle towards the knee. I’m in for a scan at some stage today (Monday) and I’ll know more after that. They’ll tell me what exactly the damage is, but best case scenario is that it will be 2-3 weeks out anyway, so that means there’s no chance of me playing in the replay next Saturday evening.â€
