Dublin manager Jim Gavin said: “On a personal level this is very frustrating for Ciarán, who has played a vital role in the recent successes in both football and hurling for his county and club at all grades.
“Protocols have been activated to ensure that Ciarán will receive the best of medical care and the Dublin football coaching staff will actively assist Ciarán in his recovery over the weeks and months ahead.
“We wish Ciarán a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back to full health in the near future.”
Kilkenny’s ACL injury is the same suffered by Kerry star Colm Cooper, with arguably two of the game’s greatest talents now ruled out until 2015.
