John Conlon is fit enough to take his place on the Clare starting XV for their semi-final against Kilkenny on Sunday, throw-in, 4pm.
A head injury saw the Clonlara clubman leave the field during the first half of the Banner's quarter-final victory over Dublin. Forward Shane O'Donnell also departed early but starts his weekend. However there is no place in the 26 for the influential Aidan McCarthy.
David McInerney, who missed the Dubs game with an injury, returns to take his place alongside Conlon in the half-back line.
The Banner also welcome back Conor Cleary at full-back. He has not played since dislocating his shoulder in the Munster round-robin win over Cork on 21 May.
The big news for the Leinster champions is that Adrian Mullen has recovered from a thumb injury to take the place of Cian Kenny in midfield.
Martin Keoghan is also fit to start, having been replaced early in the win over Galway by Walter Walsh, who reverts to the bench.
Richie Reid comes in for Darragh Corcoran in the half-back line.

Limerick have named three-time All-Star forward Gearóid Hegarty to start at wing-back against Galway in Saturday's first All-Ireland hurling semi-final.
Manager John Kiely has been forced into a reshuffle due to a knee injury to team captain and usual centre-back Declan Hannon.
Kyle Hayes moves from left wing-back to the centre with Hegarty, who played in the half-back line at U21 and college level, taking the No 7 shirt.
Two-time Hurler of the Year Cian Lynch replaces Hegarty in the half-forward line while the only other change to the XV that pipped Clare in the Munster final a month ago is Peter Casey at left corner-forward for Graeme Mulcahy.
It would be Lynch's first start since the draw with Tipperary on 21 May. The Patrickswell star missed the provincial five-in-a-row clincher as he continued to recover from a hamstring problem picked up early in the campaign.
Galway announced their team on Thursday night, Henry Shefflin keeping the faith with the same XV that beat Tipperary in the quarter-finals a fortnight ago.
Jason Flynn, who came off the bench against Tipp, is out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.
Limerick: Nickie Quaid; Mike Casey, Dan Morrissey, Barry Nash; Diarmaid Byrnes, Kyle Hayes, Gearóid Hegarty; Darragh O'Donovan, William O'Donoghue; David Reidy, Cian Lynch, Tom Morrissey; Aaron Gillane, Séamus Flanagan, Peter Casey.
Subs: David McCarthy, Conor Boylan, Ronan Connolly, Aaron Costelloe, Colin Coughlan, Adam English, Richie English, Graeme Mulcahy, Barry Murphy, Cathal O'Neill, Oisín O'Reilly.
