Limerick are set to be without Darragh O'Donovan for the remainder of the Allianz Hurling League after he suffered a shoulder injury in yesterday's win over Offaly.

The Doon midfielder damaged his AC joint in the first half at Glenisk O'Connor Park and faces a race against time to be fit for the start of the Munster SHC.

“It’s an AC joint injury," Limerick boss John Kiely told reporters.

“Thankfully nothing broken, but it will rule him out of the foreseeable anyway until we get him rehabbing and back out on the pitch again.

“Unfortunate, but these are the things that happen and the squad depth is strong and it is just an opportunity for the next person.

“To be fair to Darragh, he has had a great campaign so far. His energy has been brilliant. He has been back to where he was, possibly at his heights, in performance levels and no doubt he will work really hard over the next few weeks to get back again."
