Mike Casey an injury blow for Limerick but Richie English on the comeback trail

There was also positive news about English’s Doon club-mate Darragh O’Donovan

Richie English of Limerick in action against Jason Forde of Tipperary during the Munster SHC clash last year. The Doon man is recovering after he tore his ACL in a league game against Galway earlier this year

Limerick senior hurling manager John Kiely admits it is looking likely Mike Casey will be sidelined for a significant period with a knee injury.

Although there was some positive news about fellow full-back Richie English and Darragh O’Donovan returning to action, Na Piarsaigh defender Casey appears to be out of the Championship after hurting himself in the challenge win over Galway in LIT Gaelic Grounds on Sunday.
