Mayo star Cillian O’Connor says he’s “still optimistic” that Aidan O’Shea’s injury is not as bad as initially first feared.
The Mayo captain suffered a knee injury last week as the team returned to training with some reports suggesting that it had been the dreaded cruciate ligament injury which he sustained.
However, O’Connor has played down fears of O’Shea missing any matches as a result of the injury.
“It was just a kind of a contact injury as opposed to a muscle or a soft tissue, so not really one that can be avoided. Just a bit of chance. I think he has to wait for a second reading on a scan or something before he ll know for sure. Still hopeful that it won t be anything too serious.

Gearoid Hegarty (L) and Brian Fenton took the honours
Gearóid Hegarty and Brian Fenton have been named Hurler and Footballer of the Year respectively for the 2020 season at the PwC All-Star awards.
The Young Player of the Year awards went to Kilkenny s Eoin Cody and Mayo s Oisin Mullin respectively.
Hegarty, who also won his first all-star award on the night, enjoyed a memorable campaign, crowned by a man of the match display in the All-Ireland final against Waterford, in which he landed 0-07 from play.
It contributed to an impressive tally of 0-20 from play throughout the championship. Hegarty was one of nine Limerick all-stars on the night, a fitting tally for John Kiely s side, who won every game in 2020 across pre-season, league and championship.
Dublin s Brian Fenton scoops Player of the Year award for second time in three years
