Antrim football boss Lenny Harbinson is set to be without four key players for Sunday's must-win league clash against Limerick.

Following last weekend's home defeated to newly promoted Carlow, the Saffrons need to defeat the Shannonsiders in order to keep the heat on Laois whom are three points ahead of them in the Division 4 table with two games remaining.

Niall McKeever, Sean Burke, Patrick McBride and Ryan Murray are all understood to be unavailable to start at the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday afternoon through a combination of illness and injury.

"Our main focus now is on Limerick this weekend," Harbinson told the Belfast Telegraph.

"While we are very disappointed with the outcome of our game against Carlow on Sunday, we still feel we can keep in the frame to go up although the task is tougher now. We badly need to get a result from this game against Limerick and see where that takes us."
