Tyrone and Armagh ready for semis
Tyrone joint-boss Art McCrory will be without Enda McGinley for the closing stages of the NFL
Art McCrory's Tyrone side face Mayo at Enniskillen
Tyrone and Armagh appear to have no fresh injury worries ahead of Sunday's Allianz National Football League semi-finals.

Enda McGinley has already been ruled out of Tyrone's encounter with Mayo at Enniskillen because of a knee injury which will keep him out of football for around six weeks.

But speaking to BBC Sport Online on Monday afternoon, Tyrone joint-boss Art McCrory said he was unaware of any other injury worries.

"There was a full round of club matches yesterday and so far I haven't heard of any of the boys picking up injuries," said McCrory.

Laois ability

Armagh boss Joe Kernan is optimistic his injured parties will have recovered for that Sunday's Division Two semi-final against Laois.

Justin McNulty has an ankle injury after being taken out with a sliding tackle against Kerry.

Tony McEntee (thumb) and Paul McCormack (hand) have both had plasters removed recently, and will be in contention for the game in Longford.

"Paul is certainly 100 per cent now after missing a couple of games and Justin and Tony should be OK as well," added the Armagh manager.

Kernan is taking the Laois challenge seriously - reminding that the Leinster county have accounted for Ulster sides in recent league knockout stages.

"Laois have the ability to knock in three or four goals in quick time as they showed against Down and Derry over the last couple of years," Kernan said.
