The All-Star attacker suffered the injury during a Division 3 loss to Down.
The All-Star attacker and Tipperary captain suffered the injury when knocked to the ground entering the final 10 minutes of Tipperary’s Division 3 League loss to Down. Although he initially tried to continue, he soon limped off the field.
“It’s very disappointing but whatever about Tipperary, it’s disappointing more for Conor because he puts so much into it. I know it’s hurting him a lot at the minute but that’s the way sport is. It can be very cruel at times.”“Any time when it’s a knee, there’s always that chance and to be fair to Conor, he never stays down and that’s why I was concerned. I knew there was something up when he was staying down so long.
“It’s still very raw but we’ll just have to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves down and get on with it.”It marks the latest blow to the Tipperary squad this year. Sweeney’s injury means they now only have eight of the 20 players who played in their famous 2020 Munster football final victory over Cork available and two of those, Conal Kennedy and Paudie Feehan, are currently injured.
