Kerry boss says injury crisis is easing

Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice expects the county’s recent injury crisis to have improved significantly in time for next Sunday week’s Munster SFC semi-final clash with either Clare or Waterford.

Marc Ó Sé, Daithí Casey, David Moran, Anthony Maher and Alan Fitzgerald all had knocks but Fitzmaurice is hopeful those problems will have cleared, with only Johnny Buckley (ankle) and James O’Donoghue (shoulder) ruled out along with captain Colm Cooper and Kieran Donaghy.

“The up-to-date position is that they’re all improving, but Sunday week will come too early for Johnny Buckley and James O’Donoghue, everyone else will be okay,” he said.
