Tipperary hurling duo Tommy Dunne and John Carroll have been given the green light to take part in Sunday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final tie with Kilkenny and boss Michael Doyle is expected to name the pair tonight.
Both players suffered injuries in the quarter-final win over Offaly but both are reportedly fully fit in a real boost to the Premier County ahead of the clash with the All-Ireland champions, their third this year.
Meanwhile, Kilkenny have delayed naming their team with DJ Carey, Henry Shefflin and Jimmy Coogan all carrying knocks though it's likely all three will be in line for selection.
