Patrick ‘Bonner’ Maher has suffered a cruciate ligament injury, Tipperary GAA have confirmed.
The injury will rule the Lorrha man out for the rest of the season.
The wing-forward fell awkwardly during Sunday’s win against Limerick with scans today revealing he has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Injuries to Maher and Cathal Barrett marred Tipp’s four-point victory, which set-up a repeat clash against the All-Ireland champions in the Munster final.
Barrett’s availability for that game will be determined by a scan this evening.
He walked off the field after sustaining an apparent hamstring injury and watched the remainder of the match from the sideline with his leg strapped.
