“We need a bit more further information on that as it’s a Grade Two but it’s in tricky spot so we need a bit more, but it will be around six weeks.

"It’s up to the lads who come in to decide how big of a blow it is. Every squad is going through it at the moment so we won’t feel sorry for ourselves.

"This is why you have your squad and you train to be adaptable, so we won’t dwell on it.

"I love Tommy to bits and wish he could play every week, but it’s not to be.”
