Donal O'Grady is expected to return to the Limerick starting XV for Sunday's All Ireland semi-final against Kilkenny in Croke Park.

According to the Limerick Leader, O'Grady has recovered from the calf strain that kept him out of his side's quarter-final win over Wexford.

The county captain underwent cryotherapy in a bid to regain fitness in time for the key encounter against the Cats.

Midfielder Michael Fennelly is also expected to be fit for Kilkenny after recently returning to training with the rest of Brian Cody's squad.
