KERRY’S ALL-STAR FORWARD Colm Cooper could be set for an extended spell on the sidelines after he limped out of Dr Crokes All-Ireland SFC semi final with Castlebar Mitchels.

Cooper, who contributed two points in the opening stages, fell awkwardly after slotting over the latter of those scores and received treatment on-field for more than two minutes. He was eventually helped to the sidelines before Dr Crokes’ management made the call to replace him with Michael Burns.
