Tipperary look set to loose Declan Ryan for Sunday's Munster hurling final against Cork, in what would be a major blow for manager Nicky English to loose such an experienced forward for such a big game. He hasn't trained since damaging his ankle ligaments against Clare and is still undergoing physiotherapy in a bid to declare himself fit for Sunday's showpiece game.
Paul Shelley however is back in training after recovering from nasty facial injuries sustained against Clare, while Willie Maher looks set to make a full recovery from a larynx injury picked up in the under-21 defeat at the hands of Waterford during the week.
