Dublin will be without defender Oisin Gough for Saturday's All-Ireland senior hurling championship qualifier against Laois at Parnell Park.

The Cuala clubman has been struggling with a hamstring injury in recent weeks and team selector Liam Walsh confirmed yesterday that he will play no part against the O'Moore men this weekend.

"We've had a lot of niggly injuries in recent times, but a lot of them are starting to clear up," Walsh told FM104 Sport.

"We've a few long term injuries alright with Darragh O'Connell and Cian Boland, they've been out for a significant period of time and it will take them another while to come right."

When asked about Gough's availability, he added: "Oisin has a problem with his hamstring and he won't be available this weekend."
