Waterford look set to be without Austin Gleeson, Iarlaith Daly and Shane McNulty for their opening two Championship games.
Gleeson and Daly both have hamstring injuries while Shane McNulty has a broken bone in his foot, with the three of them highly unlikely to be in contention to start the Munster Championship games against Limerick on April 23 and Cork seven days later.
Waterford selector Peter Queally explained: “Unfortunately, time looks like it’s going to run out on them. One or two might see 10 or 15 minutes but definitely not full games in either of the first two fixtures. What we’re looking at is getting them back for the third fixture (v Clare on May 15), really.
