GAA: Farrell eyeing a recall.

Byline: PAUL KEANE 

DUBLIN Veteran Dessie Farrell wants to play for his county again - but he's yet to receive a call from boss Tommy Lyons.

The 1995 All-Ireland winner is back with Na Fianna and is feeling fresh ahead of the new season.

Despite his starring role against Derry in Clones last summer he's yet to play or train with Dublin this term prompting talk of retirement around the capital.

However, the GPA chief executive made it clear he feels he can still do a job for Dublin, who have failed to register a single goal in four NFL Division 1A games.

Farrell said: "I would like to play for Dublin again, I certainly haven't given up on it.

"The situation at the moment is that I haven't been approached to play.

"If I get the call to come back of course I'll consider it. I love playing for Dublin."

Meanwhile, injury- plagued Ian Robertson has suffered yet another setback in his bid to return to the Dublin football ranks.

Lyons has made it clear that the Ballymun Kickhams ace could return to county training when fit.

He suffered an infection following a calf operation at Christmas but was recovering well, though it is now understood he has suffered a second infection.

The news comes as a hammer blow to the player who has been laid low by injuries throughout his career and had hoped to make a county comeback.
