A chunk of Gleeson’s left ear was left hanging off during the closing stages of the All-Ireland senior hurling quarter-final clash in Thurles.

Gleeson was temporarily replaced by Conor Gleeson between the 64th and 69th minutes and was sporting a bandage over his ear yesterday when he attended a pre Munster final promotional event in Carrick-on-Suir.
