Kerry midfielder Sean O’Brien is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines having suffered an ACL injury in Beaufort's Kerry IFC match against Glenflesk on Saturday evening last. 

Beaufort were well on top approaching half-time when O’Brien was seen to fall away from the play before he was taken from the pitch, appearing to be in severe discomfort.
