Tipperary travel to Walsh Park to face Waterford on 17 April and then face Clare in Thurles on 24 April. “Unfortunately I’d say the first few rounds are probably out for me. It’s broke, so there’s not a lot I can do, only try and keep fit at the minute. It’s just going to last as long as it lasts really. There’s couple of wires in it there, so it just needs to, they need to be in it for a six-week period and then hopefully get back at it. So at the moment it’s just running and trying to keep as ready as I can be.“I won’t know much more until I’m meeting the specialist again next Monday.
He has had significant back injury problems in the past but had treated that issue with new manager Colm Bonnar not rushing him back at the start of this season.
