I’ll be back, vows Ryan as he prepares for knee operation

WEXFORD’S Allstar defender Darragh Ryan is to undergo surgery for cruciate ligament damage to his left knee.

Ryan sustained the injury while playing with his club St Anne’s in the county SHC last month. He met with Dr Pat O’Neill this week and learned that the injury will require an operation.

“Having had a similar injury to my right knee I always feared the worst. It’s too early to say how long I’ll be out of the game but I hope to have surgery by the end of the month. My one aim is to try and get back in time for next year’s provincial championship.”
