Blow for Cork as Goulding set to miss opening league games

Cork footballers will be without Daniel Goulding for the opening stages of their Allianz Football League Division 1 campaign as he is set to undergo knee surgery next week.

“I wanted to get it sorted as soon as I could,” the Éire Óg man said. “It only seems to be a minor problem with the knee, probably with the cartilage. But hopefully I can sort it out now and get back to full fitness.

“I’m probably going to be looking at six weeks out after it so I’d be looking at around mid-March to try to get back playing,” Goulding told The Score website.
