Lucey an injury doubt for Limerick

Limerick manager Maurice Horan is sweating on the fitness of defender Stephen Lucey ahead of next Saturday's Munster SFC semi-final against Kerry.

Resigned to being without star midfielder John Galvin, Horan faces an anxious wait to discover if Lucey, another of his more experienced players, can face the Kingdom.

Dual player Lucey injured his hamstring and had to be carried off during a hurling challenge match between Limerick and Galway in Athenry last Saturday.

The Croom clubman is now seen as a major doubt for the Kerry game, with the Limerick management waiting to learn the full extent of the injury.
