Galway manager Henry Shefflin is sweating over the fitness of centre-back Gearóid McInerney ahead of their All-Ireland semi-final showdown against Limerick on Sunday week.

The 31-year old limped off in the opening half of Galway’s 2-19 to 1-21 quarter-final win over Cork in Thurles on Saturday with a knee injury and he now faces a race against time to be fit for the clash against the All-Ireland champions.
