Injury concerns for Exiles

London manager Ciaran Deely

London manager Ciaran Deely says he has yet to finalise his starting 15 for Sunday's Connacht SFC quarter-final against Mayo.

The Exiles are currently priced at 16/1 to upset the Connacht champions in Ruislip, where Deely admits there will be a number of places up for grabs for the hosts.

"Cathal Og Greene broke his finger against Louth, so he's a doubt," Deely told The Irish Post. "Darragh Quinn went over on his ankle in training a number of weeks ago, so he's definitely out of the game and Lorcan Mulvey has a little hamstring issue that he picked up playing for his club, so he'll be a doubt as well.

"But we have a number of lads back fully now, which has been a boost. James Moran, Patrick O'Hara, Conor Campbell, so they're all back and fighting for places.

"There's still places up for grabs. In general, we have a good idea of our starting team. There's a couple of positions that we're still not sure about that there's a number of lads in the running for, but hopefully there'll be no more issues with injuries.

"But there won't be any late call ups to the squad. We'll be picking lads who are fit and ready for the game to try and operate at that intensity. Aside from that, we're more or less sorted at this stage."
