Brian Cody says Henry Shefflin could be handed a starting brief in the All-Ireland SHC final replay on Saturday week.
The Kilkenny legend was afforded only the last four minutes of the drawn encounter with Tipperary on September 7th but Cody insists the nine-times All-Ireland winner is in the running to start the next day:
"Obviously there's huge media concentration on Henry because of the situation he's in, because of what he's done over a huge career," the Cats boss says in The Irish Daily Star.
"Everyone speculates about what could happen and all the rest of it.
"The three extra weeks may be only three short training sessions in reality, and the opportunity is there for all players to impress or to put themselves in the frame.
"Is he in the frame? Of course he's in the frame. The decisions will be made and everyone knows a lot of the players who will start personnel-wise. Position-wise, who knows?"
