Adrian Mullen will be joined in Kilkenny’s midfield by Conor Fogarty for Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final clash with Clare (Throw-in 4pm. Live on KCLR).
There had been speculation that Ballyhale Shamrocks man Mullen would not have recovered from the injury that ruled him out of last month’s Leinster final victory over Galway but he has been deemed fit enough to start.
Mullen is the only change to Kilkenny’s team from the provincial decider with fellow clubman Darragh Corcoran dropping to the bench.

1. Eoin Murphy
