Former Kilmacud Crokes manager and All-Ireland winner Conor Deegan believes Dublin could do with bringing Rory O'Carroll back into the fold.
O'Carroll hasn't suited up for the Dubs since the 2015 All-Ireland final, as the full-back departed for New Zealand after nabbing his third Celtic Cross.
Deegan managed O'Carroll at Crokes, and the 1994 All-Ireland winner believes that the 29-year-old's return would help shore up the Dublin rearguard that's been surprisingly exposed throughout this League campaign.
“It's a position that I believe is a slight problem at the moment for Dublin, even with the players back that they're missing at the moment,” Deegan told the Herald.
“If I was Jim, I'd be bringing him in.
“If it is a risk, it's only a slight one. He's a good fella. He's a very good guy around the camp. He's not a toxic presence in any shape or form.
“He likes a bit of craic and a bit of fun, which is very, very important. I can't see any major negatives in bringing him back. I really can't.”
