Injury blow for Kilkenny as Ger Aylward suffers cruciate knee ligament injury

Scans have confirmed the extent of the damage and ruled the player out of the All-Ireland Junior final with his club and any inter-county involvement for the foreseeable future.

Kilkenny hurling has suffered a blow with the revelation that Ger Aylward is likely to miss most if not all of this year’s Championship campaign with a cruciate knee ligament injury.

The forward sustained the injury at the weekend while playing for his club Glenmore in the All-Ireland Junior semi-final, which they won.
