London football selector Noel Dunning is keeping his fingers crossed that star midfielder Paul Geraghty's injury is not too serious.

The Galway native was stretchered off during the comfortable win over Kilkenny in the division four league clash last weekend. Initial fears were that the injury could rule him out for the rest of the year.

And Dunning is hoping that is not the case as Geraghty has been in outstanding form for the exiles over the course of the past 18 months.

"We're hoping it's not as bad as we first thought. We'll have a better idea when the swelling goes down," Dunning told The Irish Post.

"It looked bad at the time, he was in terrible pain. We're not sure if it's ligaments or not; if it is he will be out long term. But as things stand at the moment, it looks it's badly sprained which would rule him out for a few weeks." Tweet
