MONAGHAN HAVE BEEN hit with the news that midfielder Darren Hughes has been ruled out for the Ulster SFC with a broken ankle.
The Irish News reports the Farney star suffered the injury in Scotstown’s two-point league defeat to Ballybay on Sunday.
The 32-year-old is expected miss 10-12 weeks of action, which means he’s unlikely to play any part in Monaghan’s provincial campaign.
Malachy O’Rourke midfield options are running thin as All-Star nominee Niall Kearns continues to recover from heart surgery he underwent in the off-season.
Monaghan open their Ulster campaign against Cavan on 18 May.
