It’s a case of so far, so good for Joe Canning in his recovery from groin surgery - but he's none the wiser as to when he will be back in action.

Galway’s talisman sustained the injury in their league semi-final defeat to Waterford and four weeks have elapsed since he went under the knife in a bid to play a part for the Tribesmen this summer.

“Torn groin, that’s all it is - I won’t get into specifics because there could be kids listening. It’s 14-to-16 weeks as the lads said a few weeks ago so it’s no different to that."  he told GAA.ie at today’s Bord Gais Energy’s Rewards Club announcement.

“I’m just taking it week-by-week really and that’s all I can do because if I set something for myself I might be disappointed if I get a setback.

“I’m just going with the physio, week-to-week, it’s four weeks now and I’m doing the rehab as best I can. Just light stuff, strengthening up the area around it and trying to get it right.”
