Clare boss Brian Lohan has named his side for Sunday’s All-Ireland senior hurling championship semi-final against Kilkenny at Croke Park (4pm).
After the head injury he sustained against Dublin two weeks ago saw him withdrawn in the first-half at the TUS Gaelic Grounds, John Conlon has returned to fitness to take his place at centre half-back for the Banner men.
David McInerney missed out on the quarter-final win over the capital men completely through injury but is back available and is named to start at left half-back, while Conor Cleary has recovered in time from his dislocated shoulder to line-out at full-back.
The returns in defence see Seadna Morey and Darragh Lohan dropping to the bench, with the injured Aidan McCarthy missing out entirely and Ian Galvin starting in attack for the second game in-a-row for Lohan.
