John Miskella's chances of playing for Cork in the All-Ireland SFC final against either Kerry or Meath will be decided by referee John Bannon.

Miskella was shown a yellow card by match referee Bannon during Cork's win over Tyrone on Sunday following an off-the-ball incident involving Brian McGuigan.

However, television evidence has since suggested that the Rebels half-back appeared to strike out at McGuigan, and Bannon is expected to be given a chance to review the decision by the CCCC to determine if he is satisfied with the original punishment.

If not, Miskella could be ruled out of the 20 September decider, which would be a significant blow to the player, and the county's hopes of a first Sam Maguire Cup since 1990.
