Armagh's in-form forward Ethan Rafferty is anxiously awaiting the results of a scan on his injured knee.

Rafferty suffered the injury in the early stages of the Orchard County's win over Derry last weekend and is keeping his fingers crossed that he hasn't sustained cruciate ligament damage.

"It'll depend on what the scans show," Armagh selector Jim McCorry told the Irish News when asked if the towering Grange attacker would be fit to face Fermanagh in Sunday's penultimate Allianz League Division 3 tie in Brewster Park.

"If they show medial ligament damage in a few weeks, you could maybe get somebody back like that, but if it's major ligament damage or structural damage to the knee, that would do him for the league.

"If it's cruciate, you're talking about affecting the championship as well, but we're hopeful that won't be the case. We'll see what way it pans out."
