GAA:Injury concerns remain to the forefront in both the Cork and Dublin camps ahead of the All-Ireland SFC semi-final at Croke Park on Sunday week.

Graham Canty and Ciarán Sheehan are doubtful and rated as “50-50” to feature in the semi-final, while Darren Magee’s contribution for Dublin this summer looks to be over.

Canty and Sheehan are rehabilitating after they came off during the quarter-final win over Roscommon and manager Conor Counihan rates them “no more than 50-50 at this stage”.

“It’ll be late next week before we make a call on that. We’ll give them every chance and hopefully they might come through. Everyone else is fully fit, and that’s a positive,” added the Rebels manager.

Magee picked up shattering injuries – a suspected fractured bone in his leg and a dislocated ankle – when he lined out for Kilmacud Crokes against Fingal Ravens on Wednesday night.

The powerful midfielder fell awkwardly in the first half and now joins a long list of injured Crokes players alongside Mark Davoren, Paul Griffin, and Ross O’Carroll.
