Limerick selector Donal O'Grady has rated Aaron Gillane as '50-50' for the Munster champions' All-Ireland SHC final clash with Waterford.

The prolific Patrickswell freetaker is in a race against time to be fit for the Liam MacCarthy Cup showdown at Croke Park on Sunday week after suffering a heavy knock during the latter stages of the semi-final win over Galway four days ago.

He was subsequently taken to hospital before being discharged on Monday and is due to meet with a specialist in the coming days. O'Grady and his fellow Treaty men will be keeping their fingers crossed that the blow sustained by Gillane isn't too serious.

"He took a heavy hit, I think he had some breathing difficulties after. Our doctor deemed it necessary for him to head to hospital. They kept him overnight as a precaution. They were slightly concerned but he was released the following day which was great," O'Grady said of Gillane at a media event this evening.

"He came in to see us on Tuesday night but obviously didn’t train. So hopefully we’ll know more towards the weekend."
