University of Limerick look likely to be without one of their top forwards in Wille Ryan for tomorrow afternoon's Fitzgibbon Cup semi-final against Waterford IT at Dangan.

Ryan, who top-scored in UL's quarter-final win with 1-9, suffered a hamstring tear whilst training with Tipperary last week and has trying to get back to fitness, but it looks as though time is against the Tommevara player.

"Willie is a major worry for us," said UL manager Ger Cunningham. "He suffered a Grade One tear to his hamstring in training with Tipp. We've been doing everything we can since then to get him right. But unfortunately I think time could come against us."

Centre-back John Devane is another injury concern, after picking up a dead-leg in the win over UCC, although Cunningham holds out better hope for the defender, saying "we're hoping that he'll pull through." Tweet
