Ciaran Kilkenny will be back training with Dublin before Christmas.

The 2013 All Star has been sidelined since sustaining a cruciate ligament tear in the league clash with Kildare in March but has confirmed that he's nearing a return to full training and hopes to be on board with Jim Gavin's charges shortly after the training ban is lifted on December 8th:

"I'm hoping to be back training now in the next few weeks, before Christmas," the 21-year-old tells The Irish Times.

"I'm working really hard now and should be fully ready to go from January onwards. I'll be back training fully towards the end of December and I'm hoping to be back before the national league.

"I'm waiting, not rushing back into it - I'd be alright now, but you just have to be cautious with these sort of injuries and make your legs as strong as you can before you go back ."
