Seamus Harnedy and Cormac O'Brien have returned to the Cork matchday panel but Pat Ryan has named an unchanged side for Sunday's All-Ireland final against Tipperary.
Harnedy had been described as "touch and go" for the All-Ireland final by his manager last week, having been ruled out of their semi-final rout of Dublin with an hamstring injury.
Wing-back O'Brien had missed the semi-final with a quad injury, though Ryan was more optimistic for his involvement.
In the event, both are included in the squad though are named on the bench as Ryan has stuck with the same starting XV that struck seven goals past Dublin nearly a fortnight ago.
Ethan Twomey and Jack O'Connor are the two players to make way from the matchday squad.
The experienced Harnedy, who turns 35 today, made his debut for Cork in 2011 and starred in their unexpected run to the final in 2013, earning an All-Star that season. He was further honoured in 2018 and 2024.
