Dooley bluntly said the panel remains open when questioned on the Diarmuid Horan issue, but it didn't seem to be a question he was over enamoured with.

Offaly manager Joe Dooley could be without two key players for his side's Leinster Senior Hurling Championship opener against Antrim next month.

Wing-forward Daniel Currams suffered a broken finger at the weekend against Tipperary and is a big concern for Dooley, while defender Stephen Egan could also miss out after breaking his nose in the late defeat to the Munster champions.

The news comes as a blow to Dooley, who recently welcomed back Brendan Murphy to training after a back injury ruled the versatile figure out of the Faithful County's NHL campaign in Division One.

Dooley not sweating over duo

Tuesday April 20 2010

Offaly manager Joe Dooley is confident that Brendan Murphy and David Franks will be fit in time for the Leinster SHC opener against Antrim on May 30.

Murphy has been struggling with a back problem, while Franks has a hamstring injury, but both are expected to be available for the Parnell Park tie.

"Brendan has been bothered with a back injury but he should be back hurling in a couple of weeks," said Dooley. "He should be available for selection against Antrim. David Franks then had a hamstring injury coming into Sunday's game, so we decided not to chance him. But he should be fine as well come championship."

it's a pity about Stephen Egan on sunday his luck is not with him he is only coming back for been hurt.
if it's only a broken nose he should be back. young currams will be a big lost he was hurling well for the last two
game's. if he had not got hurt on sunday we would have bet tipp he had got two good points before he got hurt.
i think he would have scored or won a few frees in the last 18 minute's that we didn't score in.

Stephen Egan's fine, he'll be hurling for Tullamore on Thursday night against Coolderry. Currams should have recovered sufficiently from a broken finger in six weeks, which is the length of time to the Antrim game from last Sunday.
