Shane Walsh is an injury concern for Galway ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Meath at Croke Park.

No stranger to the treatment table in recent times, Walsh picked up a shoulder injury in the first half of the Connacht champions’ preliminary quarter-final victory over Down last Sunday in Newry, but played on until the closing stages and finished with a personal tally of 1-7.

“He got a nasty injury,” Galway manager Padraic Joyce told reporters afterwards.

“He fell forward and the Down player followed through with the knee on the shoulder so he's a bit of a bother there.

“We left him on for 10 minutes just to see how he got on but he's getting no better so we'll assess him here. We'll go back and see what it is. It looks a nasty injury.

“He was quite sharp after 15 minutes when he got into the game and got the shackles off a bit. He kicked a couple of great twos, kicked the free and kicked the goal.”
