Clare boss Davy Fitzgerald says he's confident he's built a panel that can be competitive in Sunday's National Hurling League Final.
Fitzgerald is likely to wait until tomorrow to finalise his team for the clash, with a number of key players set to miss out.
John Conlon, David McInerney and Conor Ryan are among those on the injured list, but Tony Kelly and Peter Duggan are available for selection.
Fitzgerald says building a strong squad is one of his key aims.
Meanwhile joint captain Tony Kelly insists everyone is working hard to ensure they return to the top of the hurling pile.
The Ballyea man has been forced to watch from the sidelines for much of 2016 but has recovered from that foot injury to return against Kilkenny last time out.
He's hopeful they can keep their winning streak going.
