A former Clare teammate of Davy Fitzgerald says he has full faith that the Banner can turn their season around.
After defeat to Limerick in the Munster Quarter Final, Clare now face Offaly in the first round of the All Ireland qualifiers on Saturday evening in Cusack Park.
Double All Ireland winner Ollie Baker, who is also an ex-manager of the Faithful County's hurlers, says Fitzgerald's side have the talent to progress.
Brendan Bugler returns from suspension for Saturday's game, while Colm Galvin is also expected to play some part after his return from the US.
Meanwhile, Clare's footballers have been given a series of injury boosts as Enda Coughlan, Shane McGrath and David Tubridy are all expected to play in at least part of their match against Longford, also at Cusack Park on Saturday.
Reports say Cathal McInerney could also be in action.
