John Kiely expects Cian Lynch to be 'flying again' for Tipp clash

John Kiely is confident Cian Lynch will be back to full fitness before Limerick's next Munster SHC round-robin clash against Tipperary on Sunday 21 May.

Lynch suffered "a minor hamstring injury" during Saturday's pulsating loss to Clare at the Gaelic Grounds.

The manager is confident one of his star men will be back in the next two weeks, but he is less clear on the extent of the knee issue Seán Finn sustained against the Banner County.

"Cian has a minor hamstring injury, he should be flying again in the next week or two," Kiely told RTÉ Sport at the launch of the Dillon Quirke Foundation fundraising drive.

"Seán has a scan this afternoon so hopefully tomorrow [Wednesday] we'll have a clearer picture on that."

Reflecting on the three-week break the Treaty now have before returning to provincial action, Kiely said: "It's probably the reward for having a six-day turnaround for the last game; you're bound to get the time back at some stage.

"We'll make good use of the time. We'll freshen up, and we'll come back at it again. We have two really tough fixtures coming up for the final stages of the Munster Championship round-robin and we'll be fighting for every point we can."
