Sean Mulkerrin makes a clarification when asked about his ‘broken’ knee cap - it was actually shattered.
By the time he returns to competitive action Mulkerrin may have missed a full year’s football having sustained the injury while playing in the Sigerson Cup for NUIG last January.
“It was knee on knee and I was kind of planted and he was coming at speed, a small corner-forward just coming at speed and just hit the sweet spot or the bullseye and kind of shattered the kneecap so it wasn’t pleasant now,” he explains.
