Cork hurlers have been forced into three changes for Sunday's league quarter-final against Wexford in Páirc Uí Rinn. Centre back Mark Ellis and corner forward Alan Cadogan are injured while corner back Stephen McDonnell is unavailable because of work commitments.

Into the team come Midleton’s Killian Burke to replace Ellis, Anthony Spillane in place of Cadogan and William Kearney for McDonnell.

Limerick welcome back Kilmallock’s Paudie O’Brien and Graeme Mulcahy for their quarter-final against Dublin at Croke Park. Shane Dowling returns after suspension.

Kerry name former All Stars Marc Ó Sé and Darran O’Sullivan in their panel for the visit of Monaghan to Tralee. Both have recovered from injuries.
