Injury ends season for Cork City skipper Johnny Dunleavy

Cork City have been dealt a massive blow with the news club captain Johnny Dunleavy is set to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Dunleavy suffered the injury after falling heavily in last Friday night’s 4-1 victory over Limerick at Turner’s Cross. It is the latest injury to torment the Donegal man, who was enjoying a fine run of form this season, and even chipped in with a couple of goals for the league leaders.

“The indications aren’t good, contrary to what we thought after the match,” said City boss John Caulfield yesterday. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t look good. It looks like he’s going to be out for quite a while, so we’re just waiting for confirmation on that, which is a terrible blow to Johnny. That’s the way it is.”
