Dubs play down talk of Cluxton injury

The Dublin camp have denied speculation that their goalkeeper and captain Stephen Cluxton is struggling to shake off a hamstring injury ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland SFC final against Mayo.

The Leinster champions reportedly have a 'clean bill of health' as they attempt to win the Sam Maguire Cup for the second time in three years.

It was actually two years ago to this day that Cluxton landed the match-winning free against Kerry to end the Dubs' 16-year wait for All-Ireland glory.

It is understood that the Dublin management brought in an extra goalkeeper to training last weekend as a precaution, as rumours abounded that Cluxton was managing a hamstring injury.

But speaking to the Irish Daily Star, a Dublin spokesman said: "We have no injury concerns thankfully. Stephen is 100%!"
