Limerick star Cian Lynch has suffered a fresh injury blow ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland hurling final.
The two-time Hurler of the Year reportedly picked up an ankle injury in training last weekend and has been wearing a protective boot just days before Limerick’s three-in-a-row bid against Kilkenny.
Lynch had only just made his return from a hamstring injury in the semi-final win over Galway in which he was introduced as a substitute late on, 10 weeks after first sustaining the injury in the Munster Championship win over Waterford.
