EAMONN Fitzmaurice is happy to report there are no new injury worries for Kerry heading into the All-Ireland SFC Quarter Final against Kildare this Sunday.
Speaking at a press conference held in the Medowlands Hotel on Monday, the Kerry boss confirmed that Kieran O’Leary, who ruptured his Achilles tendon in June, remains the only player on the injury list.
Kerry can boast a clean bill of health, despite coming through two gruelling tests against Cork in Killarney. They now face Kildare who pulled off a minor shock by beating Cork in Thurles on Saturday evening.
Though Kerry are favourites for this match, Fitzmaurice, was under no illusions of the potential banana skin that lays in front of the All-Ireland champions.
“Kildare are coming into the game with momentum so we’ll have to be careful of that,” said Fitzmaurice.
“They played with fierce vibrancy and confidence. It wasn’t that much of a surprise,” he added.
Earlier today the times for the All-Ireland Quarter-Final double header in Croke Park were announced. Kerry will take on Kildare in the first match at 2pm, followed by Dublin v Fermanagh at 4pm.
The Kerry minors take on Sligo the following day in Tullamore, with a throw in time of 2pm.
