 Brian McGuigan hopes to be back in action for Tyrone soon |
Forward Brian McGuigan hopes to be challenging for a place in Mickey Harte's Tyrone team within a month after recovering from a broken leg. The Ardboe player has targeted Tyrone's NFL tie against Cork on 24 February as his possible comeback game but adds that he will "not be rushing it".
Harte will use the same panel of players who competed in the McKenna Cup for Saturday's opener against Dublin.
He will name a squad for the league after the McKenna Cup campaign is over.
"We'll be working off our McKenna Cup squad for the time being," confirmed the Tyrone boss.
The Red Hands will be without several major players for the floodlit game at Croke Park, including the suspended Stephen O'Neill and other injury victims, Brian Dooher, Conor Gormley and Colin Holmes.
