A groin injury has ruled Niall McNamee out of the Offaly side to face Kildare in the Leinster SFC quarter-final on Sunday next.
The influential forward had a limited run in the league due to the injury and his absence is a blow to the Faithful as they face the highly regarded Lilywhites.
McNamee's brother Alan is a doubt for the Portlaoise clash with a calf-injury, while Niall Smyth, Richie Dalton and Nigel Dunne face fitness tests.
