Hurling team news:Galway manager John McIntyre is expected to wait until the eleventh hour before deciding whether to risk Joe Canning in the Leinster semi-final meeting with Kilkenny in Tullamore on Saturday.
The star forward has been troubled with a groin injury since last week and hasn’t trained fully since.
The Dublin hurlers have their own worries ahead of the semi-final against Wexford at Nowlan Park, Kilkenny.
Liam Ryan is Dublin’s biggest concern, having struggled with a calf injury since the win over Antrim at Croke Park but, like Canning, the centre-forward will be given every chance to make the team.
Anthony Daly is unlikely to finalise his starting team until Thursday evening, but Ronan Fallon looks like he will miss out as he recovers from a broken bone in his foot.
Tomás Brady is expected to be tasked with shackling Stephen Banville.
Keith Rossiter is unlikely to start for Wexford despite returning to full training this week.
Manager Colm Bonnar is still without long-term absentees Eoin Quigley and Colm Farrell, while Darren Stamp will also miss out.
Clare are likely to call on James McInerney to fill the full back position in Sunday’s Munster semi-final against Tipperary at Semple Stadium.
Manager Mike McNamara was expected to turn to last year’s under-21 captain Conor Cooney for Sunday’s game, but he has failed to recover from an ankle injury sustained in a club match a fortnight ago.
