Waterford's injury crisis has deepened.
Last year's All-Ireland runners-up have confirmed that Tadhg de Burca and Barry Coughlan have been ruled out of action for a number of months, while Darragh Fives will miss the rest of the Munster Championship.
All three were injured in Sunday's nine-point defeat to Clare in Ennis.
Noel Connors and Maurice Shanahan suffered back and groin problem, but will be assessed in the coming days in the hope that they will be fit to face Tipperary this weekend.
