Kilkenny star Hogan facing four weeks out after suffering collapsed lung

Richie Hogan is set to miss Kilkenny’s Division 1 semi-final later this month after being diagnosed with a collapsed lung.

The 2011 All Star suffered the injury in an aerial collision with Galway goalkeeper Jamie Ryan in the closing stages of Sunday’s game in Nowlan Park.

Hogan left the field shortly afterwards and was then taken to hospital where an x-ray showed up the reason for his shortness of breath.
