CLARE’s senior hurlers have been dealt a massive blow with Shane O’Donnell to miss the remainder of the season.
The Irish Times have reported that O’Donnell is to undergo surgery for a shoulder injury which will rule him out for the 2025 championship.
Hurler of the Year Shane is not expected back to the hurling field until the end of 2025 as a result
Manager Brian Lohan said, “It’s very unfortunate for Shane himself and the team as well”.
He added, “We looked at every option with Shane but the medical advice was that surgery was 100 per cent necessary, so we wish him well and a full recovery”.
O’Donnell was expected to link up with the squad prior to their championship opener against Cork on April 20th in Cusack Park.
