KERRY MIDFIELDER SEAN O’Brien is set for a long-term spell on the sidelines having suffered a cruciate injury in action for his club Beaufort last weekend.
Beaufort were in action in the Kerry intermediate football championship against Glenflesk when O’Brien suffered the setback before half-time, he was taken from the pitch and appeared to be in severe discomfort.
A visit to Santry earlier this week for a scan confirmed the extent of the injury, as he has done his cruciate and also sustained some cartilage damage.
O’Brien formed a crucial midfield partnership with Mark O’Shea during Kerry’s 2025 All-Ireland winning season and that continued throughout this summer, which concluded when Kerry lost last month’s All-Ireland final to Mayo.
