Barry O’Driscoll to miss end of season due to ankle injury

Cork footballer Barry O’Driscoll looks set to miss the remainder of the Allianz FL with an ankle injury.

O’Driscoll, who has not kicked a football since Nemo Rangers’ Munster Club final defeat to Clonmel Commercials , is to undergo surgery in the coming weeks to repair the damage to his ankle.

A recent scan highlighted a fracture in his ankle and having seen a specialist on Wednesday, it was decided surgery was the best course of action, almost certain to keep the wing-back out of Cork’s remaining league fixtures.
