Kerry defender Aidan O'Mahony is a major doubt for next Sunday's All-Ireland football semi-final against Meath due to suspected appendicitis. The Rathmore clubman experienced abdominal pains over the weekend and would face a four-week layoff in the event of him having his appendix removed. That would also make him a big doubt for the All-Ireland final if the Kingdom progress to a meeting with Cork on September 20. Once an automatic choice on the Kerry team, O'Mahony has fallen out of favour in recent games, but did see action as a substitute in the quarter-final rout of Dublin. An asthmatic since childhood, he was cleared of any wrongdoing when he became the first GAA players to test positive for a banned substance after last year's All-Ireland final defeat to Tyrone. Meanwhile, Meath have reported no fresh injury worries after a weekend which saw some of their squad in club hurling action. Tweet
