Frustrated O’Donnell can’t wait to get back

Clare hurler Shane O’Donnell is disconsolate the hamstring injury he picked up last week has put him out of action.

O’Donnell picked up the knock during training at Cusack Park and is now facing a seven week spell on the sidelines, ruling the 19-year-old out of next month’s league decider, should Davy Fitzgerald’s outfit stave off Tipperary on Sunday.

Ineffective in the league’s earlier rounds, an assessment he wholly agrees with, O’Donnell’s injury frustration is compounded as it cuts short his recent return to form — four goals bagged in the Laois and Waterford fixtures respectively.
