Luke McNally, the 25-year-old Irish defender for Bristol City, has suffered a season-ending ACL injury. The defender sustained the injury during Bristol City's 1-0 Championship defeat to Swansea on Sunday. McNally has been a standout performer for the club since joining from Burnley in the summer, starting 28 of their 31 Championship games.
BRISTOL CITY’S IN-FORM Irish defender Luke McNally has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury, the club have confirmed.
McNally, capped once at U19 level by Ireland and twice called up by Jim Crawford’s Ireland U21s without playing a game, has been one of Bristol City’s standout performers this season since joining from Burnley in the summer. Prior to his side’s 2-0 victory over Stoke last night, City boss Liam Manning heaped praise on McNally, admitting that his absence for the rest of the campaign would feel pronounced.
“So when you lose someone of his… the level of contribution that he’d had, his performance, his character, his desire to defend, all the positives he’d shown to everybody here — naturally, it’s disappointing.
