Galway marksman Joe Canning will miss Sunday’s Allianz NHL opener against holders Dublin in Pearse Stadium after sustaining an arm injury while leading Limerick IT to a Fitzgibbon Cup quarter-final win over GMIT in Moylish.
Canning was removed by ambulance to the Mid Western Hospital after a 43rd-minute clash and it was confirmed later by Cyril Farrell he had dislocated his AC joint. He is due to have a scan today but he’s probably looking at four to six weeks out and is now also certain to miss the Fitzgibbon finals in Cork next week.
"We’re very disappointed with the injury and how it happened," said LIT boss Davy Fitzgerald. He was flying, he’s probably the best forward in the country."
