'It's great to have him on the pitch. He felt good'

Paul Fennessy reports from Dalymount Park JACK BYRNE , Neil Farrugia and Markus Poom returned from injury last night, as Shamrock Rovers drew 1-1 with Bohemians .

“We took him out Monday early but he’s the one that we flagged about 10 days ago as a staff that we knew he was in the red zone, in real danger. But with the bodies the way they were, he’s been playing and unfortunately it’s gone but hopefully not too bad.” Advertisement Farrugia had been unavailable since picking up a shoulder injury in the season opener against Dundalk. Meanwhile, it was Byrne’s first match of the campaign and he also missed a substantial chunk of the end-of-season run-in last year.

Byrne, winner of successive PFAI Players’ Player of the Year awards in 2019 and 2020, has proven a key player for Rovers when fit. One of the main reasons for the length of Byrne’s absence has been the difficulty in identifying the precise problem.
