Darragh Fitzgibbon is hoping to make his Cork comeback in Sunday's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final against Offaly at FBD Semple Stadium.

The captain is back in training after undergoing appendicitis surgery which ruled him out of the Munster SHC win over Clare as well as the provincial final defeat to Limerick.

“Obviously I’m still in that five- and six-week [recovery] period,” the Charleville clubman explained at an event marking eir’s continued support of the All-Ireland SHC and the fourth year of the Poc Tapa Challenge,

“I’m back doing more than I did previous to the Munster final, but we still have a week of training left. We’ll have to see how Tuesday and Thursday go. I’ll try my best obviously to get back for it, but we’ll see how it goes after Thursday night.

“I haven’t done any full session yet. That kind of wasn’t in my schedule. I probably still am on track, but just see how it goes.”
