Macauley, who turns 31 in August, is understood to have torn an ACL and is currently assessing his options as Dublin prepare to face Carlow or Wexford in a Leinster quarter-final on Saturday, June 3.

Surgery would appear to be the likely outcome for the Ballyboden St Enda’s midfielder, who had been suffering from a foot injury since Dublin’s Division 1 final defeat to Kerry last month.
