Dublin GAA have released an official update on Bernard Brogan's injury recovery.

The 2010 Footballer of the Year ruptured his cruciate ligament in training earlier this month and is expected to miss out on the rest of the Dubs' 2018 campaign.

Speculation has been growing ever since that Brogan, who turns 34 in April, may well have played his last game for the All-Ireland champions and today's update from management has revealed that the St Oliver Plunketts forward "is now in the recovery phase" after undergoing surgery.

The statement from Dublin boss Jim Gavin read: "On a personal level this is very frustrating for Bernard as he has played a vital role in recent team performances for both club and county.

"Medical Protocols for the Dublin Senior Football team have been activated to ensure that Bernard will receive the best medical care to actively assist his recovery in the weeks and months ahead.

"We wish Bernard a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back to full health in the near future."
