Wonderful footballer, amazing that he's still only 24. Hopefully a quick recovery.

I did notice he seems to be carrying a lot of extra junk in the trunk lately, he looks more like a powerlifer than an inside forward. That added mass is always going to put more pressure on ligaments that remain the same size, who knows if it actually contributed to the injury, though.

Some man. Definite polymath.

McBrearty this time . . . so disappointing it would have been great to see him in the Super 8's hopefully he has a good recovery an absolute class player!

Yes very disappointing. A joy to watch one of the few players that has the ability to light up the All Ireland series. Best of luck to him in his recovery.

In my view, the most effective forward in Ireland at the minute. I love his shoot on site style. Such a shame about this injury, was really looking forward to seeing him in the super 8. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

Reminds me of Stephen O'Neill in his play. Meets the ball at speed and an excellent turn and shot.

Terrible news. Some player - the rest of the Championship will be poorer without him.

Awful for the lad. Some player and great style of footballer for kids to watch. Big loss.

Yes - not a fan of off site shooting.
