Corcoran, Carroll and O’Meara out for Tipp
Corcoran was sent off in the closing stages of last weekend's draw with Galway, while Carroll and O'Meara are still recovering from long-term injuries.
Also on the treatment bench at the moment are Brian Horgan, Noel Morris, Eoin Breslan, Colin Morrison and Conor Gleeson.
Horgan and Morris have calf strains. Breslan and Morrison have broken fingers, while Gleeson picked up a hip injury in the Galway game and was forced to retire.
With four players on the injured list Conor Plunkett, Jamesie O'Connor, Gearoid Considine and Gerry Quinn Clare have also deferred selection of their side.
Table-toppers Kilkenny will be without goalkeeper James McGarry for their game with Leinster neighbours Wexford at Nowlan Park on Sunday. The ace custodian badly damaged ankle ligaments two minutes from the end of the champions' victory over Cork last weekend and, according to PRO Ned Buggy, McGarry is also in danger of missing the league final should the Cats, as is expected, qualify for the decider.
Both John Hoyne and Andy Comerford, who missed the Cork game because of injury, are doubtful list for Wexford clash.
Wexford too have injury worries. Darren Stamp sustained a hand injury in their win over Clare, while David O'Connor damaged a hamstring. Both are in a race against time to be fit. But Adrian Fenlon, who missed the Clare match because of a hamstring injury, and Liam Dunne, who was ruled out of that game because of a chest infection, are expected to be named when the team is announced tonight.
Kilkenny are also due to announce their side tonight.
Cork selectors have made a number of changes from the side that crashed to All-Ireland champions Kilkenny for Sunday's crunch clash with Galway at the renovated Pearse Stadium.
Diarmuid O'Sullivan, who failed a late fitness test on his damaged hand before the Kilkenny showdown, returns at left corner-back in place of Mick Fitzgerald.
Tom Kenny and John Gardiner swap places, with the Grenagh player now at right half-back and the Na Piarsaigh star lining up alongside Derek Barrett at midfield.
Barrett has been out of action with a groin injury and he replaces Micky O'Connell, who was concussed on Sunday. Also returning to action, after missing a number of game because of a leg injury is Timmy McCarthy, who is chosen at right half-forward in preference to Ben O'Connor.
Galway are not due to select their side until tomorrow night but manager Conor Hayes reports no injury problems.
Kerry boss Páidí Ó Sé has restored Seamus Moynihan to the troublesome full-back spot for Saturday evening's clash with Dublin, a game that will mark the official opening of the Templenoe GAA Grounds, home of the legendary Spillane brothers.
Moynihan, who came on late in Kerry's final National League game against Armagh, had been playing outstandingly well at centre-back.
Darragh Ó Sé has a new partner at midfield in Paul Kennedy from Listry who has played Kerry U-21 and junior and did well against Galway in a recent challenge. Paul Galvin moves from wing-forward to corner-back while Rathmore's Aidan O'Mahony makes his senior debut at right half-back.
Diarmuid Murphy resumes in goal instead of the suspended Declan O'Keeffe, while in a rearranged forward line, Billy Sheehan starts at wing-forward and Liam Hassett replaces hamstring victim Dara Ó Cinnéide.
