The injury which forced Jason Forde's withdrawal in the 16th minute of Saturday evening's Munster Hurling Championship clash between Tipperary and Cork is not expected to sideline the Silvermines for the Premier's remaining two round robin games.
Forde seemed to pull up and feel his hamstring in the act of scoring his only point from play in the 12th minute and following a brief stoppage the Tipp free taker was withdrawn which has proven to be a precautionary move by management ahead of two more important round robin games.
Should an investigation into the injury confirm that the worst has not occurred, it is hoped he may be available for the third round Munster Hurling Championship game against Limerick on May 21st in FBD Semple Stadium.
