Dublin could be without the services of team captain Con O’Callaghan for their All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Galway this weekend.

The Cuala clubman limped off during extra time as the Dubs defeated Donegal by 1-26 to 1-22 at Croke Park to advance to the last eight.

O'Callaghan could be seen pulling up with an apparent hamstring strain in the 78th minute of his team’s victory over the Division 1 champions.

Full-back Nathan Doran also went off earlier in the game with an Achilles which looks to have him set for a spell on the sidelines.

"Nathan Doran, his Achilles looks like it's gone," Dublin boss Ger Brennan told RTE Sport afterwards. "He is a warrior, Nathan, as is Con. But Nathan really put his body on the line these last couple of games. He had one or two niggles there. But yeah, it looks like the Achilles is gone."
