Galway manager Pádraic Joyce is confident that All Star forward Damien Comer will be back for their opening Connacht SFC game in April after it emerged that the knee injury suffered by the Annaghdown clubman on Sunday is not as bad as initially feared.
However, the 29-year old faces six to eight weeks on the sideline recovering from severe swelling but initial fears that he had suffered a cruciate injury have proven unfounded following a scan.
Comer was stretchered off early in their 0-9 to 0-8 loss to Roscommon at Pearse Stadium amid fears he could be gone for the season.
