GAA: Tipperary dealt double body blow

Tipperary have been dealt a double body blow in their preparations for the Munster Senior Hurling Final against Limerick with the news that midfielders Conor Gleeson and Tommy Dunne are both rated very doubtful.

This comes on top of John Leahy's knee injury which rules him out for a year.

Gleeson broke a finger in a club challenge, at the weekend, while Dunne damaged a hamstring for the second time in three weeks.

Dunne the Tipperary captain was doubtful for the clash with Clare, but recovered to play a huge role in the game.

His chances are rated slightly better and he will undergo intensive treatment in the coming weeks.

However, his partner Gleeson is almost certainly out of the equation and will hardly be able to take a place in the starting line-up.
