There is mixed news on the injury front for Clare ahead of Sunday's league semi-final against Kilkenny in Thurles.
Davy Fitzgerald expects to be able to call on the services of former 'Hurler of the Year' Tony Kelly but it's a waiting game as far as David McInerney and Shane O'Donnell are concerned.
"David and Shane haven't trained since the Limerick game," Davy Fitz revealed to Star Sport.
"They have to get clearance before they can come back. We'll have a better idea by Friday. Unlikely, but you'd never know.
"I am expecting Tony Kelly to tog out this weekend, that's if he comes through training this week. He hasn't played a match in three months.
"Seadna Morey played 10 minutes of a club match, first time since last October he'd played, hasn't enough game time under his belt."
The Banner boss added: "We will be up for it, no matter what team goes out.
"We will take it really seriously and we want to win it. The big tests start in June and Waterford on June 5 is the biggest game we'll have this year.
"We have half an eye on that. We believe we have a strong squad and we believed we could beat Tipperary. We didn't think it would be a high-scoring game.
"Normally, you won't win a game with 2-13 - we know that.
"I think we had seven wides and dropped five or six balls into the goalie's hands that we wouldn't be happy about. We know to win any game you probably need to be hitting 20 scores.
"We hit 15, so we have to get another five or six scores."
