Kilkenny was forced out of the midweek friendly win over Leyton Orient following a poor tackle, and an X-ray has shown the midfielder has suffered a broken bone.

The Irishman is expected to spend weeks in plaster, prior to a period of rehabilitation.

It could mean he is out of action for up to five months.
