Tipperary's Bryan O'Mara is set for a spell on the sidelines, after fracturing his arm during the Premier's draw with Limerick on Saturday.

Holycross-Ballycahill club man O'Mara, who helped Tipp win the U20 All-Ireland title in 2019, looks set to miss the entirety of the National League campaign.

He was forced ashore late in Tipp's National League opener at the LIT Gaelic Grounds after sustaining the injury, being replaced by Padraic Maher. He will likely be ruled out of the rest of the competition.
