Reports are circulating that Dublin hurler Ryan O'Dwyer had his jaw broken from a single punch in England.
The 29-year-old centre-forward had been out socialising in the West Midlands on Friday when he was a victim of an alleged assault, according to the Irish Independent.
The Kilmacud Crokes player, who works as a teacher in a Dublin south secondary school, was reportedly floored by a single punch on a night out.
A source confirmed to the Herald that that the incident happened and the player was taken to hospital.
"It wasn't a prolonged incident. I think it was one punch and he fell over and hit the ground."
"They are monitoring him, but they are hoping that he will be fine. He's making progress."
It is understood that the attack was completely unprovoked and O'Dwyer is believed to have sustained a broken jaw.
