Ryan O'Dwyer looks set to miss Dublin's National Hurling League campaign.
The Tipperary native has had surgery on a long-standing shoulder problem – he's now expected to miss Dublin's Division 1B campaign.
The former Cashel King Cormac's player underwent the operation in early December and is only out of the sling in the last week.
26 year old O'Dwyer is not expected to be available to return to to competitive action until April.
