Blow for Galway as 2017 All-Ireland winning captain Burke suffers cruciate injury

David Burke will miss the rest of the season.

GALWAY STAR DAVID Burke has sustained a cruciate ligament knee injury and will miss the remainder of the season.

Galway Bay FM Sport are reporting that the Tribe’s 2017 All-Ireland winning captain suffered the injury in training during the week.

Burke, Galway’s all-time championship appearance holder, came on as a substitute in last weekend’s win over Clare in Ennis.

The St Thomas midfielder is a four-time All-Star and has been a central figure for club and county through the years.

In his absence, Henry Shefflin’s side are in action against Westmeath this afternoon.
