Cork minor hurling star Brian Turnbull will be sidelined for at least nine months after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament.

Turnbull was one of the stand-out players on the Cork side that won this year's Munster MHC and powered through to an All-Ireland final date with Galway. He registered 1-51 in six championship games with the Rebels, including 1-7 against the Tribesmen at Croke Park.

A dual player, he would almost certainly have progressed onto the Cork U21 side in 2018 but will now by out of action long-term, having sustained the dreaded cruciate injury while training with the Douglas minor footballers last week.
