Antrim’s prospects of progressing to the next round of the Tailteann Cup have suffered a body blow following a wrath of injuries and withdrawals ahead of Saturday’s trip to Leitrim.
The Saffrons bowed out of the Ulster Championship following a 13-point loss to Cavan in Corrigan Park last month.
Prior to that game, Antrim lost the services of their first-choice goalkeeper Oisin Kerr and regular full-back Ricky Johnston.
