Former AllStar Kevin Walsh will return to the Galway county set-up by the end of the week, according to reports.
Walsh's return comes as the perfect fillip for boss John O'Mahony who is still reeling from the news that midfielder Michael Donnellan is out for weeks with a pelvic injury.
Walsh said: "If I am back, I am back for the long road. Body-wise, I'm as good as I have been."
