DARA Sheedy is in a race against time to prove his fitness for Cork’s All-Ireland SFC Round 2A trip to Donegal on June 13th.

The Bantry Blues man has missed Cork's last three games, including the All-Ireland Round 1 win against Meath, having picked up a hamstring injury with the Cork U20s in mid-April. 

‘We don't know yet if Dara will be back. He hasn't done a full training session,’ Cork boss John Cleary told The Southern Star.

‘We're training tonight (Thursday) and we'll just see. We're waiting for the go-ahead from the medics and until we get that he won't be back in full training. We'll just see how the week goes.’

Defender Sean Brady (hamstring) will also miss the long trip to Donegal.

The Cork boss also confirmed that they are appealing Colm O’Callaghan’s red card against Meath.

‘Yeah, it is being appealed, but that hasn't taken place yet,’ Cleary added.
