Dundalk’s Stephen O’Donnell
Dundalk FC captain Stephen O’Donnell has received a major boost in his battle to return to fitness after surgery yesterday revealed that his cruciate knee ligament injury was not as bad as first feared.
After being carried off in the 2-2 draw with Shamrock Rovers on Good Friday, there were fears that the 28-year-old might not play again after initial reports suggested he had ruptured both his anterior and posterior ligaments.
However, surgery in Santry yesterday went well and revealed that he hadn’t ruptured the anterior ligaments (ACL).
Tweeting about the matter this morning, O’Donnell said: “Didn’t do my acl after all damage to the knee but not as bad as first feared!buzzin,surgery went well.”
Meanwhile, tickets went on sale from Oriel Park this morning for the club’s Setanta Cup final clash against Sligo Rovers in Tallaght Stadium on Saturday May 10th.
