Galvin worry for Limerick

LIMERICK football boss Maurice Horan is sweating on the availability of star midfielder John Galvin ahead of their Munster championship opener on June 4th after he sustained a blow to his knee in a challenge match against Down on Sunday.

It is understood that Galvin has not suffered cruciate damage but the injury is still regarded as serious. Dual defender Stephen Lucey is another injury worry for Limerick for that tie against the winners of Sunday’s quarter-final between Kerry and Tipperary.

“We are awaiting the results of an MRI scan to see how that goes”, says Horan. “He can’t put any weight on his leg at the moment so it’s a fairly serious injury in terms of the time until we play championship. He just went over on it in a collision with a player in a challenge match. A player hit him in the inside of his leg and forced his leg out. We don’t think it’s the cruciate. The guy who did the scan didn’t think it was cruciate because of the things he was able to do with his knee.”
