Cormac Costello expects to be fit for Dublin's last eight clash

Cormac Costello has said that he expects to be available for Dublin’s upcoming All-Ireland football quarter-final.

Having topped Group 3, Dublin went straight through to the last eight and will play one of the four preliminary quarter-final winners on the weekend of July 1/2.

Inside forward Costello hasn’t featured since the draw with Roscommon in the opening game of the round robin series, having sat out the subsequent wins over Kildare and Sligo.

He explained: “It just happened near the end of the Roscommon game. It was just bad timing. The games were coming thick and fast.

“I’m hoping to be back for the next day. It’s a slow enough healer. All I can do is try and get back fit and back in the team now.

“I struggled with hamstrings but touch wood, I haven’t had a soft tissue injury in I don’t know how long. But this was actually impact. It was one of these things that just takes time. Hopefully it clears up soon.”
