Michael Fennelly is already plotting a return to action after going under the knife today.
The midfielder has posted a picture on twitter of his left leg in cast after having surgery to repair the Achilles tendon injury he suffered during Kilkenny's thrilling All-Ireland SHC semi-final replay victory over Waterford nine days ago.
While the injury-plagued Fennelly will play no part in Sunday week's All-Ireland final against Tipperary, he expects to be back playing for the Cats early in the New Year.
