CORK HAVE NAMED an unchanged side for Saturday’s crunch All-Ireland hurling qualifier clash against Clare.
The Rebels have kept the faith with the team that saw off Wexford last Saturday as they bounced back from their Munster semi-final loss to Waterford.
There are changes amongst the Cork subs with Shane O’Neill, Patrick Collins and Luke O’Farrell all returning to the fray instead of Brian O’Sullivan, Luke Meade and Andy Walsh.
O’Neill has recovered from an ankle injury while O’Farrell is available again after being suspended last Saturday following the red card he was shown against Waterford in last month’s Munster semi-final.
Throw-in on Saturday in Semple Stadium is 7pm.

I hope he doesn’t suffer any long term brain damage
Sky News are reporting that he is responding to simple instructions, hopefully a good sign!
Youd want to be a really sick beastarf to red thumb a get well wish. Sad pathetic attention seeking dopes. Get a life
Unfortunately all brain damage is long term and permanent. It’s the degree of brain damage that will affect recovery. To be honest outcome will be guarded at best and I suspect some persistent disorder of consciousness is likely.
Hope he will be ok. Thinking of his family and their long and difficult wait.
The media love passing on bad and negative outcomes , only time will tell and there are lots stories of fully recovering from brain injuries, i worked in a Brian injury unit and have seen this so the media what the hell would they know ,are they doctors . Good luck micheal .
Those Brian injuries are terrible…..
Lets hope he recovers to have a good quality of life.
”
Michael Schumacher, the former Formula One world champion, is in danger of never fully recovering from the skiing accident he suffered four weeks ago that saw the German put in an induced coma, according to neurology experts.”

We can only hope he makes a full recovery…..
In fairness, that article is purely speculation based on people who aren’t supremely fit Formula 1 drivers. Best not to believe anything that doesn’t come from his manager.
Yes. Because his manager is the medical, neurological and rehabilitation expert.
Hang in there, champ. You can do it!
Doesn’t look good for him. BBC confirmed this.
For all the red thumb idiots. http://m.bbc.com/sport/formula1/25938347
Read it and weep.
“Read it and weep”!! Are you getting some sick pleasure in proving your point?
And the 2 experts quoted in this interview have no access to Schumacher or his medical condition. Both experts said it’s very unlikely he’ll return to full health given the medical assistance and the length of time he’s spent in a coma but after that it’s anyone’s guess.
With the exception maybe of Mary Lyons’ comment that appears to give some measure of medical credibility to the BBC, how can anyone red thumb other comments?
When I glanced at the headline and the team holding the placard I thought it said “Protest to wake Michael Schumacher”, and was thinking why? Are they refusing to wake him!
Anyway, the poor guy, absolute legend and what a terrible thing to happen if he doesn’t wake up. My thoughts with the family.
Hope you make a speedy recovery. Michael :)
