Tipperary boss Liam Cahill has been hit with a triple injury blow, including news that Paddy Cadell is out for the season.
Tipp scored their first victory over Kilkenny at UPMC Nowlan Park in 15 years last Sunday but it came at a significant cost with Cadell suffering what has been described as a “pivot shift injury to his left knee”, resulting in a cruciate ligament tear which means that he certainly won’t play for the county again this year and will most likely be ruled out of all club action with JK Brackens too.
Experienced defender Cathal Barrett also went off injured in the same game though the prognosis is not nearly as bleak.
