Collarbone blow for Earley

08/03/2006 - 12:12:26

Kildare will have to plough through the remainder of the National Football League without Dermot Earley after it was confirmed that the influential Sarsfields midfielder has broken his collarbone.

The 27-year-old sustained the injury after 66 minutes of Kildare's 0-09 to 0-11 league defeat by Derry last Sunday.

He left the Celtic Park pitch with his arm in a protective sling.

Earley was taken to hospital after the game with X-rays confirming the break.

The 1998 All-Star, who met a surgeon in Naas on Monday, is expected to be sidelined for up to 10 weeks, meaning he should return for the Lilywhites' Leinster championship opener against Offaly on May 29.
