Five-time All-Ireland winner Séamus Flanagan is set to strengthen Limerick’s five-in-a-row hunt as he returns from a hamstring injury suffered against Waterford in the Munster championship.

Speaking at the launch of the All-Ireland hurling series in Clare, Flanagan confirmed he is already back running in training. The inside forward scored 3-3 against Cork in round three before coming off after 20 minutes in the final round. He was not included in the 26 for the Munster final.
