Huge blow for Galway defender as scan confirms he suffered cruciate injury against Dublin

Paul Killeen will miss the rest of the season after Galway’s worst fears were realised today.

MICHEAL DONOGHUE HAS confirmed that Galway defender Paul Killeen suffered a cruciate knee injury against Dublin yesterday.

It’s a major setback for the Tribesmen who must plan without the corner-back for the remainder of the campaign.

Killeen was helped off the field in the 26th minute of their Leinster SHC quarter-final win over Dublin and replaced by John Hanbury.

“It is now confirmed that Paul has suffered a cruciate injury which will rule him out of action for the remainder of the season,” Donoghue said in a statement.

“On behalf of the Galway Senior Hurling Panel and Management Team we would like to wish Paul our very best wishes for a speedy recovery and I ask that all of us offer our full support and best wishes to Paul.”
