Reilly tweets preop picture

Meath senior football captain Kevin Reilly will undergo an operation this morning to correct a hip problem picked up during the Leinster SFC final loss to Dublin.

Reilly tweeted a pre-op picture from his hospital bed accompanied by the hashtag #road2recovery.

The picture puts to bed any rumours that Reilly might turn out for his club Navan o'Mahonys in Sunday's SFC semi-final against Wolfe Tones. The Meath full-back is expected to miss a minimum of four months with the injury, but it is hoped he could return to action for Meath before the start of the 2015 championship.
