SHANE O’DONNELL HAS been named among the Clare substitutes for their crucial Munster SHC clash with Tipperary on Saturday.
O’Donnell was initially ruled out for the season due to a shoulder injury which required surgery. But the Hurler of the Year gave Clare fans a huge boost recently by revealing that he intended to play some part in their championship campaign.
His inclusion this weekend marks his first involvement in a matchday squad since last year’s All-Ireland final.
Meanwhile, Tony Kelly returns to the starting line-up after missing Clare’s defeat to Waterford due to illness. He slots into the half-forward line alongside Mark Rogers and Shane Meehan.
Aidan McCarthy has not been named in the matchday squad while David Fitzgerald drops to the bench.
