It's been confirmed Shane O'Donnell & David McInerney will not feature for Clare in Sundays League Hurling Semi Final against Kilkenny.
The duo underwent scans of their respective foot and back injuries, with both now ruled out.
Peter Duggan also failed a late fitness test while Conor Ryan will be assessed tomorrow but is rated as doubtful.
The sides met twice last year in Nowlan Park with the Cats winning on both occasions by a single point, Clare selector Louis Mulqueen says the defending All Ireland champions will be a huge test.
Throw in on Sunday in Semple Stadium is at 4pm, live commentary here on Clare FM in association with Matt Waters Clare Fruit & Veg Market and Donie O'Keefe Champion Meats Turnpike Road Ennis.
