Cork report no injury concerns arising out of Sunday's Munster final. "Micheβl O'Sullivan is suffering from slight concussion," according to selector Paddy Sheahan, "but he'll be alright." News concerning the other first-choice midfielder isn't so good. Nicholas Murphy had to cry off with a thigh muscle injury before the match and he remains doubtful for the clash with Galway.

Dublin SF

Corner back Martin Cahill is "quite doubtful" for the match against Sligo according to manager Tom Carr. He had to be substituted after 12 minutes of the Leinster final because a clash of heads left him concussed.

Sligo SF

Paul Taylor, who missed the win over Kildare, is unlikely to make the starting line-up on Sunday. "Paul is still not training," says manager Peter Ford, "and it's not looking great for him at this stage." Taylor is suffering from an inflammation of the pelvic area and played through the Mayo match in some pain. He's still trying hard to recover but he can only do a little bit at the moment. Niall Carew is suspended after his dismissal against Kildare. Better news for Sligo concerns left corner back Brendan Phillips who has returned from a trip overseas and played for his club Harps in a county championship game last weekend. Philip Gallagher, who was injured in the win over Kildare, is also fit again.
