HENRY SHEFFLIN ADMITS that he is unlikely to be fit in time for Kilkenny’s Leinster Championship opener.
The nine-time All-Ireland winner is still recovering from a stress fracture in his left foot and faces a race against time before the Cats’ game against Offaly on 7 June.
Shefflin was wearing a protective boot on doctor’s orders when he appeared in Croke Park this morning to launch Centra’s sponsorship of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.
He will have a much clearer idea of his comeback timetable when he returns to see the specialist next week.

“I am back to him on Friday week so I’m not saying I am definitely gone,” Shefflin said.
“But more than likely it’s going to be very hard to see me back for the first round, to be truthful about it.”
