Dublin manager Jim Gavin looks set to be without the services of Dean Rock, Jonny Cooper and Eoin Murchan, once again, for Sunday’s Leinster SFC semi-final with Kildare.

All three missed the runaway quarter-final success over Louth and the Irish Daily Mirror reports that they are unlikely to feature against the Lilywhites.

Rock is struggling with a hamstring injury while an ankle complaint is keeping Cooper sidelined.

It's reported that Cooper’s Na Fianna clubmate Murchan is struggling with a soft tissue injury.

Paddy Andrews, meanwhile, hasn’t featured since breaking his jaw in the league game with Tyrone last March.

As things stand, Paul Mannion is ruled out after being sent-off against the Wee County but that could change if the Sky Blues successfully appeal that decision to the Central Hearings Committee this week.
