Colm Cooper has ruptured his cruciate ligament in his right knee #GAA
— John Fogarty (@JohnFogartyIrl) February 17, 2014
Cooper suffered the injury in the process of scoring a point midway through the first half of that game, falling awkwardly under pressure from two Castlebar defenders as he knocked over his second point of the game.
Although it is early days yet, the nature of the injury suggests that Cooper will miss the majority, if not all of, this season as a result.
It is a massive blow for Kerry boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice, who will have to plan without the Kingdom’s star man and arguably the best forward in Gaelic Football in the last decade and this season’s Championship will be a poorer one in his absence.
We wish Cooper all the best in his recovery.Explore more on these topics:
