GEAROID MCINERNEY HAS been named at centre-back in the Galway team to face Limerick in Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final. 

McInerney was forced off in the early stages of Galway’s quarter-final defeat of Cork with a knee injury and was considered a major doubt for this weekend.

Henry Shefflin has made just one change from the Cork clash, with Brian Concannon replacing Cianan Fahy at full-forward.  

Graeme Mulcahy has been introduced to the Limerick side while Cian Lynch and Peter Casey must make do with roles on the bench. 

Mulcahy replaces youngster Cathal O’Neill as Kyle Hayes switches to centre-forward.

Lynch and Casey return from hamstring and ACL injuries respectively to take their place on the matchday squad.
