WEXFORD manager Keith Rossiter has seen his squad decimated ahead of their Allianz National Hurling League Division 1A opener with Cork at Chadwicks Wexford Park on Saturday evening.

Rossiter, already dealing with the absence of Matthew O'Hanlon and Dee O'Keeffe, both retired, has seen their player crisis grow over recent weeks.
