Jim McGuinness has insisted Michael Murphy is not an injury concern ahead of Sunday week’s All-Ireland final against Kerry.
Murphy was withdrawn after 45 minutes of the huge semi-final win over Meath. Some pundits suspect he may have tweaked his hamstring in the process of scoring the last of his six points.
Shortly after kicking that point he walked to the sideline and was engaged in conversation with McGuinness, with captain Paddy McBrearty beginning his warm-up straight after.
Murphy kicked one free short after that, before being replaced by McBrearty with 25 minutes to play.
The 2012 All-Ireland-winning captain was present at Donegal’s training session on Tuesday evening. Speaking to RTÉ Sport afterwards, McGuinness insisted the Glenswilly man was fit to face the Kingdom.
“He’s absolutely fine – no concerns whatsoever.”
