Limerick captain Declan Hannon says he’s hopeful to be fit for next month’s All-Ireland senior hurling championship final should the Shannonsiders make it back to the decider.

Hannon has been ruled out of the Treaty men’s All-Ireland semi-final on July 8th as a result of the knee injury he sustained in the Munster final win over Clare and, speaking to GAA.ie, the Adare clubman said he is unsure at the minute over a return date.  

“You’d be hopeful,” Hannon said when asked if he would be fit for the July 23rd decider if Limerick were to progress to it.

“It’s just kind of day by day and see how the rehab goes. I don’t know, I couldn’t answer the question at the minute.

“I just got a bit of a knock in the Munster final to the knee obviously. I'm rehabbing that at the minute and trying to get back performing on the pitch as quickly as possible. I'm just taking it day by day and week by week.

“I'd play on one leg if I could, but the All-Ireland semi-final will come too soon, they think. That's just the way it is. We've had plenty of injuries down through the years, even this year with Seanie Finn earlier on in the year. We're well used to these kind of things, we just have to get on with it.

“Our full focus is on the semi-final and seeing how we get on. I’ll just do whatever I can to support the boys over the next few weeks. Try and have a bit of fun with them as well and knock out the tension that might be there at times.”
