Now nobody has McElhinney services...

The midfielder was at the centre of a bitter public spat between Donegal manager Jim McGuinness and his DCU counterpart Niall Moyna last month. In a bizarre twist of fate, he can now play for neither.
St Michael's clubman McElhinney suffered a recurrence of his ankle injury against Down on Saturday, having come into the action as a second-half substitute.
McElhinney scored his side's only goal in the all-Ulster clash at Newry but had to leave the field in the closing seconds after colliding with an opponent.
A club spokesman has confirmed that he'll be sidelined for several weeks. Thus, he will play no part for DCU in today's Sigerson Cup match against Cork IT and will also miss Donegal's Division One meeting with Laois in Letterkenny. Tweet
