Cork's Robbie O'Flynn suffered dislocated ankle during Limerick game

Forward awaits scan to rule out further damage.

CORK FORWARD ROBBIE O’Flynn dislocated his ankle during Saturday night’s Allianz League game with Limerick and needs a scan today to rule out any further damage, The42 understands.  

O’Flynn will be given a timeline for recovery after the scan, but the initial hope for the Erin’s Own player is that season will not be a write off. He left the field on a stretcher, and visibly distressed, late on in Cork’s one-point win over the All-Ireland champions. 

The injury to O’Flynn meant there was a need for 10 minutes additional time at the end of the contest in Páirc Ui Chaoimh.

O’Flynn had been a key player for the Rebels, his pace and physical presence a constant threat to the Limerick defence. The 25-year-old scored Cork’s first goal in the 2-17 – 0-22 win, and provided the assist for his side’s second goal, which was scored by Declan Dalton.
