Davy Fitz preparing to deliver 'devastating' news to unnamed Clare player

“We have one player who got concussed after the Kilkenny game. He’s mad to go but I don’t think we’re going to. He’ll be devastated."

Clare manager Davy Fitzgerald has revealed that one of his top stars will be left “devastated” when he is omitted from the starting line-up for Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League Division 1 final following a concussion scare, writes Jackie Cahill.

Fitzgerald is faced with an agonising decision after a player he refused to name was diagnosed with concussion following the comprehensive semi-final victory over Kilkenny.
