Damien Comer is reporting a clean bill of health ahead of Galway’s Allianz Football League opener against Mayo on Sunday.

After missing much of last season with knee and hamstring problems, the powerful attacker is hoping for an injury-free 2024.

"Just trying to keep on top of it is the big thing, prioritising different bits, getting my recovery done when I’m not training, making sure every training session is a good one and I am able to train, and able to participate in games at the weekend,” he told reporters at this week’s Allianz Football League launch.

"It’s about chatting to the physio and S&C and management team as well, trying to play as many games as possible without overdoing it with the injuries I have had. Getting the injuries right will be key with the injuries I had this year.

“I am at a stage now where I know my body well that if I'm in danger of doing something, I would sit out a session. I would rather be training all the time, but you have to balance it."
