Donegal's injury crisis
Brian McEniff's side were defeated by Fermanagh in the Ulster Championship

Donegal boss Brian McEniff has an injury crisis ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland Football Qualifier against Sligo.

Centre half-back Barry Monaghan was slightly concussed after taking a bang on the head in Four Masters' Donegal Championship game against St Nauls on Sunday.

The player spent Sunday evening at Letterkenny Hospital and is a doubt for the Ballybofey contest.

McEniff has several other defensive problems.

Noel McGinley picked up a leg injury in Glencolmcille's defeat by Gweedore over the weekend.

Eamonn Reddin and Mark Crossan are also not fully fit which could mean that Raymond Sweeney will be deployed at full-back against Sligo.

Brendan Devenney, who picked up an injury in the defeat by Fermanagh, did not line out for St Eunan's in the Donegal Championship game against Naomh Ultan but he is expected to start against Sligo.

The Yeats County are hoping that Allstar Eamonn O'Hara will be fit to line out at Ballybofey.

Mickey Graham wasn't involved in the win over Louth
Mickey Graham has been struggling for form

O'Hara picked up a groin strain in the Connacht defeat by Mayo.

Meanwhile, Colm Brady won't be in the Antrim panel for Saturday's Qualifier against Armagh at Casement Park.

Brady missed Sunday's defeat by Tyrone because he was on holiday in Portugal and even though he will be back in Ireland ahead of the Armagh game, he won't be considered.

Antrim boss PJ O'Hare has made clear his unhappiness at Brady's decision to go ahead with the holiday.

Monaghan, meanwhile, will be without Damien Freeman in Saturday's game against Meath.

Freeman picked up an ankle injury in Saturday's win over Westmeath.

Meanwhile, Mickey Graham has quit the Cavan football panel.

Graham has been struggling for form in recent months and was dropped for the Qualifier win over Louth.
