Kildare's Seanie Johnston could miss his Cavan return

One of the most eagerly anticipated face-offs of the year may not happen, as the controversial forward nurses a shoulder injury.

SEANIE JOHNSTON COULD miss his Championship debut for Kildare against former side Cavan next weekend.

The forward sustained a shoulder injury in training for the Lilywhites on Tuesday and is now a major doubt for what will be a highly controversial return to Kingspan Breffni Park.

“The shoulder injury needs to be assessed as to where he’s at and to see what way it reacts and if the pain goes out,” Morgan O’Callaghan, spokesman for the Kildare team, told the Irish Daily Star.

“He picked up a bang and it’ll probably be early next week before we know. It’s a matter of waiting and seeing.”

Johnston was not used in last weekend’s Leinster SFC semi-final defeat to Meath at Croke Park, despite having turned out for hurling club side Coill Dubh the previous day, albeit for less than a minute.

If there was good news for Kildare, it emerged that Eamonn Callaghan should make the Cavan game.

“He’ll be there or thereabouts. He has two full weeks’ training behind him,” added O’Callaghan.
