Tipperary are assessing injuries to four key men ahead of Sunday's Munster SHC semi-final against Limerick.

John O'Dwyer, Cathal Barrett, Lar Corbett and John McGrath are all struggling to be fit for the showdown at the Gaelic Grounds.

"We'll know more about the injuries [on Tuesday] night - at the moment John Meagher is the only one ruled out. At this stage, it will probably be the middle of the week before we'll know for sure," manager Eamon O'Shea told Tipp FM.

"Cathal hasn't done a lot of hurling, 'Bubbles' is hurling away and has had bits and pieces. Larry Corbett and John McGrath, we'll know for sure during the middle of the week.

"Denis Maher is making really good progress. He had a serious injury [dislocated shoulder] and was out for a serious length of time but the last few weeks have seen him come on a lot. I'd be optimistic in terms of our injury problems.

"We've had our fair share of injuries but all counties have injury worries. It's the first round of the Munster Championship and preparing properly, you're bound to pick up injuries. We've had long-term ones but it's about making a judgment all the time on how far along people are and how they're training."
