IT HAS BEEN confirmed that Cork hurler Paudie O’Sullivan suffered a broken fibula and tibia in a club match last night as he is set to miss his county’s 2013 championship campaign.
The 24 year-old suffered the devastating injury while in action last night for divisional outfit Imokilly in a county senior hurling championship game against Cork IT.
He was set to undergo an operation this morning but that has now been postponed until tomorrow as he faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines in a major blow for both the player and Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s Rebels squad.
O’Sullivan suffered the injury in the early stages of the game and the match was subsequently abandoned after the incident by referee Kevin Murphy.
