Two-time All-Ireland SHC winner John O’Dwyer is a notable omission from Colm Bonnar’s first Tipperary panel.

O’Dwyer, 30, is understood to be recovering from injury and has been in and out of the panel in the past. However, there are other players also doing rehab and are included in the 34-man squad.

Thurles Sarsfields’ Billy McCarthy is also not included despite recently returning to action following a third cruciate tear, while it had been known in recent days that Niall O’Meara and Bryan O’Mara would not be involved this season.

Ger Browne and Denis Maher have returned to the panel while 2018 and 2019 All-Ireland U21 and U20 winning captains Conor Bowe, who was with the footballers last year, and Craig Morgan are included.
