Setback for Armagh as star forward O'Neill hit by injury

Armagh face Tyrone in their final league game on Sunday.

ARMAGH HAVE BEEN hit with a major blow as star forward Rian O’Neill faces a spell on the sidelines through injury.

O’Neill sustained a quad injury this week in training that will rule him out of Sunday’s crunch last round tie against Tyrone in Division 1 of the Allianz Football League.

It is just over two weeks until Armagh make their championship bow with a preliminary round tie against Antrim on Sunday 9 April, the winners taking on Cavan at the quarter-final stage a fortnight later.

The Irish News reports that O’Neill is facing six to eight weeks out, a huge setback for Armagh’s hopes this year.

The Crossmaglen star is a key figure in the Armagh side, their top scorer in the league to date, an important free-taker and a versatile operator who can feature further the field.

    He was given massive loyalty by when he was guilty of racism so glad to see he’ll repay it. His talent deserves champions league matches.
