Dublin hurling boss Humphrey Kelleher is facing the prospect of being stripped of his best talent, Conal Keaney, in another dual player tug of war.

Kelleher said: "It is an issue that will have to be dealt with. It is not a situation that I wish to happen but if it is to happen perhaps it is better at this time of the year than further down the line."
