Galway manager Liam Sammon has received some mixed news regarding injuries ahead of Sunday week's Connacht SFC final against Mayo. While long-serving wing back Declan Meehan has emerged as a major doubt for the McHale Park showdown, injury-stricken midfielder Joe Bergin is well ahead of schedule in his recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained two months ago, and is set to return to action within the next month. The Connacht final will come too soon for the big Mountbellew man, but he has resumed light training and if Galway are still involved in the championship in August, he could yet play a vital role. Former Player of the Year Meehan is facing a race against time to be fit for the Mayo game after he pulled a hamstring last weekend. Kieran Fitzgerald, who missed the Leitrim game through injury, is expected to return while Niall Coyne and Diarmuid Blake are also fit again after recovering from injury. Tweet
