Cork City hit with another injury blow

Malik Dijksteel is set to miss Cork City’s season opener against Galway United, Tim Clancy has confirmed. 

The former Feyenoord academy player has had a successful preseason on Leeside, scoring 3 goals. But the Dutch winger picked up an injury in the Munster Senior Cup quarter final last Friday night in a 2-1 loss to Cobh Ramblers 

Dijksteel’s injury isn’t as severe as Harry Nevin and Evan McLaughlin’s injury, however. Evan McLaughlin will definitely be missing the next 6 weeks for City, while Nevin’s period on the sidelines hasn’t been confirmed yet. 

Nonetheless, a loss for City. Do you think the Rebel Army will cope without the tricky winger?
