Steven O’Brien may return for the Tipperary footballers sooner than expected.
The Ballina man suffered a hamstring injury against Cavan.
It was originally feared that O’Brien would miss the remainder of the league but manager David Power is now hopeful he will have his vice-captain back for the Offaly game on March 18th.
Meanwhile, the Tipperary manager is also hoping forward Mikey O’Shea will be recovered from a hamstring injury in time for Sunday’s game against Fermanagh.
Conall Kennedy is not expected to return from injury before the end of the league.
Tipp FM will have live commentary of Tipp versus Fermanagh in association with Treaty Electric, Sarsfield Street, Clonmel
