 Tyrone's Stephen O'Neill was injured in the match against Antrim |
Forward Stephen O'Neill is expected to be missing when Tyrone launch the defence of their National League title. O'Neill suffered a collar bone injury in the early stages of the All-Ireland champions' McKenna Cup clash with Antrim at Casement Park on Sunday.
Enda McGinley replaced him as Tyrone recorded a 2-11 to 1-02 victory
Having battled back from a series of injuries last season, O'Neill earned a reputation as an impact sub as the Red Hands won their first Sam Maguire.
Despite starting only a handful of games, O'Neill ended the season with an All Star nomination.
The Clann na nGael clubman came into the 2004 campaign injury-free but now all that has changed yet again.
Mickey Harte's Tyrone team begin the Allianz National League campaign with a tough trip away to Dublin at Parnell Park on Sunday 1 February.
