Limerick look set to be without William O’Donoghue for Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League final with Kilkenny.
The midfielder has seen a one-game ban recommended by the CCCC after he appeared to make contact with the head of Tipperary’s Alan Tynan at the start of last week’s semi-final.
Meanwhile, Cork are to appeal the red card shown to full-back Alan Downey in their semi-final loss to Kilkenny.
If his ban is upheld, Downey will miss Cork’s Munster Hurling Championship opener with Waterford.
