Peter Casey looks set to miss the remainder of the season after a scan revealed he suffered a broken ankle during Limerick’s Munster SHC victory over Tipperary.
The horror injury, which Casey suffered just moments after scoring Limerick’s second goal, overshadowed the All-Ireland champions’ facile 2-27 to 0-18 victory at the TUS Gaelic Grounds. The All-Star forward was taken to University Hospital Limerick where a scan revealed the extent of the injury.
"Following a scan, we can confirm that Peter suffered a broken ankle which will require surgery in the coming days," Limerick GAA said in a statement.
"Limerick county board / senior hurling management team want to wish Peter all the best in his recovery and we will ensure that he will receive the best possible care over the coming weeks and beyond as he begins the journey to full recovery and resumption of his playing career."
Limerick GAA has also thanked their own medical team, the Tipperary medical team, the stadium medics, the staff at UHL and the Garda Siochana.
