ALL-IRELAND WINNING defender Mike Casey could make his first Limerick appearance in two years when John Kiely’s side take on Clare on Sunday.
The full-back — who hasn’t played since March 2020 as he battled multiple knee injuries — is named on the Limerick bench for the round four clash in Cusack Park, Ennis.
Kiely makes eight changes to the side which shipped a heavy defeat against Cork last week, Limerick’s third defeat in as many games in a rocky start to the new campaign.
Doon’s Adam English is named at corner-forward for what would be his first league start while Gearoid Hegarty, who missed the Cork defeat through suspension, returns in the half-forwards.
