John Mullane faces a suspension after being sent off for striking in a club game last Saturday.
Mullane, playing for his club De La Salle, was sent off after only nine minutes of their Waterford SHC quarter-final against Ballygunnar for striking in retaliation.
The match ended in a draw with the sides scoring 0-17 each and Mullane is now set to miss the decider.
Mullane had an outstanding season for Waterford at corner-forward and is a favourite for an All-Star nomination this year to give him a chance to add to his award in 2003.
Previously any suspension, no matter at what level it was received, prevented players from being nominated for an All Star.
But that rule no longer applies and any ban Mullane should receive won’t affect his chances of winning another award this year.
