Paul Schutte is a major concern for the Dublin hurlers ahead of this Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC quarter-final (4.0) against Tipperary in Semple Stadium, Thurles.
The Cuala defender has suffered a recurrence of a back injury and is doubtful for the clash with the Premier County.
The news is better on his brother Mark who could be available to play some role after suffering a dislocated shoulder against Wexford.
Niall McMorrow is set to be ruled out of contention also with a knee injury while Gary Maguire is still making his way back to full match fitness.
