Con O'Callaghan could miss start of Dublin's National League campaign - report

Con O'Callaghan could reportedly miss the start of the Dublin's National League campaign with a shoulder injury.

The 24-year-old was unable to start for UCD in the Sigerson Cup against UUJ after hurting his shoulder in the pre-game warm up.

And with Dublin's League opener against Kerry looming on Saturday, O'Callaghan's availability has been thrown into doubt, according to Independent.ie .

O'Callaghan is set for a meeting with the Dublin medical staff today, with hopes of a positive prognosis for the Cuala clubman.

It's an unwanted headache for new Blues boss Dessie Farrell, who came away with a one-point loss in his debut game on Saturday against Longford in the O'Byrne Cup with a mostly experimental side.

Con's younger brother, Niall, found the net twice in that 1-13 3-06 defeat.

The absence of the two-time All-Star didn't halt UCD's progress as they progressed 0-13 0-11 in extra-time.
