Kilkenny duo Richie Hogan and Eoin Larkin will both be fully fit for the All-Ireland SHC final replay.
Hogan, who delivered a brilliant Man of the Match display in Sunday's drawn encounter with Tipperary, was clearly struggling towards the end and was substituted two minutes into added time, raising concerns that he might miss the return match on Saturday fortnight.
However, the Cats have moved to allay those fears, confirming that the Danesfort ace was suffering from cramp and will be firing on all cylinders again in 18 days.
The same applies to attacking stalwart Larkin, who also produced an effective display in the original contest at Croke Park: it has been confirmed that the 30-year-old James Stephens clubman has not sustained a serious injury.
