The Clare hurlers must plan for the 2020 championship season without Colm Galvin, who has been side-lined with a groin injury.
The former All-Star has been a key presence in midfield for the Banner in recent years, but is out of action until January. He will remain in the camp as a member of the backroom team over the coming months.
This comes as a setback for Brian Lohan, who is facing into his first championship campaign as manager.
The Banner face Limerick in their Munster Championship opener on Sunday October 25, in a match that doubles up as the 2020 National League final. The winner will be rewarded with a Munster semi-final date with All-Ireland champions Tipperary.
Following an early exit in 2018 after heavy losses to both the Treaty and the Premier, Clare will be looking to bounce back. And after a positive league campaign in which they topped Division 1B, they will be hoping they can continue on their upward trend.
