Leitrim's hopes of progress in the Connacht Football Championship have been dealt a major blow with Emlyn Mulligan's latest injury news.
The star forward has been ruled out for a number of months as he requires surgery on a cruciate ligament injury.
Mulligan sat out the 2015 campaign, but returned last year to play a full part in Leitrim's campaign.
Leitrim begin their Connacht campaign with a quarter-final against London on Sunday week, with the winners to face Roscommon.
