Karl Sheppard injury source of concern for John Caulfield

Cork City boss John Caulfield may have to plan without Karl Sheppard for a “couple of weeks” as the player deals with a troubling knee injury.

City go into battle tonight at Eamonn Deacy Park in Galway chasing a 13th league win in a row, as they sit a commanding 14 points clear at the top of the SSE Airtricity Premier Division.

Sheppard has been one of the many success stories for the Leesiders this season, the Dubliner clicking into a rich vein of form which has seen him score crucial goals and saw him nominated for last month’s player of the month award.
