Louth captain Sam Mulroy has ruled himself out of their Leinster football championship opener due to a hamstring injury.
The Naomh M�irt�n clubman picked up the issue in their final Allianz League game against Meath, and could be out for up to two months.
Louth await the winners of Wexford and Laois in the provincial quarter-final, which is slated for Sunday week.
