Galway full-back Fahey to undergo knee op

Galway's influential full-back Richie Fahey is set for an operation on a cruciate knee problem that will rule him out of the upcoming National League campaign.

Fahey picked up the horror injury in a club game for Killanin last autumn leaving Galway boss John O'Mahony with a major problem at the back ahead of their NFL opener with Meath on February 1.
