Ken McGrath has revealed that, despite three knee operations in two years, he could be forced to retire from inter-county hurling.

The Waterford hurler played little of the 2009 Championship and he admitted there is doubt over his participation in next year's competition.

I'm still not right to be honest, I'm kind of struggling,' McGrath told the Irish Examiner.

'I've had a nightmare two years, three operations in two years.

'This year especially, I got no hurling done at all really. If it gets right, I'll look forward to giving it a go (in 2010) but if it's not right, I'll be struggling again.

'It's tough on the mind because you don't know what way you're going to be.'

'I hopefully might manage the legs a bit better next year and maybe come back a small bit later,' he said.
