John Kiely: “We'll have to wait and see who's able to get back on the training field for at least two sessions before the Tipp game.
“At the very least they have to be back on the pitch by next Saturday night. So we'll give them another week.
“We have a week so we'll try get them on the pitch hopefully next Saturday night and we'll see where they go from there.
“We're not going to take any chances with fellas at this stage of the season. It's a short season as it is, so you could take a chance and he could miss a very substantial and important part of the season. So for us it's about ensuring that whoever togs out on the day is fit and healthy.”
