Mixed injury news for Tipp ahead of Clare clash

Jason Forde – who hasn't featured since last month's Division 1A opener against Dublin – is in contention for selection having recovered from a hamstring injury.

However, Patrick 'Bonner' Maher won't be available for the Cusack Park clash owing to a knee problem.

Tipp boss Michael Ryan says it's pleasing to see the likes of Seamus Callanan returning to the fold.
