TIPPERARY FORWARD PATRICK Bonner Maher is set for a long spell on the sidelines after tearing his cruciate in Sunday’s win over Limerick at Semple Stadium.
It was confirmed this morning that a scan result has revealed the extent of Maher’s injury which will leave him sidelined for the rest of the 2019 season.
A Tipperary GAA statement confirmed the nature of Maher’s injury with the Premier setup still waiting to see what injury damage defender Cathal Barrett sustained in the game.
Following a late Monday evening scan the injury news for Patrick Maher has confirmed he has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament. Cathal Barrett will undergo a scan later this evening to access his injury and a further update should be known later tonight.
