 Brian McGuigan's return has been hindered by ankle surgery |
Tyrone playmaker Brian McGuigan is refusing to set himself any targets as he returns to fitness after undergoing surgery on a troublesome ankle injury. "I'm not going to set myself any dates as I have done that in the past and not made them but hopefully I am only a few weeks away from a return to action.
"I see Mickey (Harte) thinks I will be a sub for the game against Fermanagh on 20 May but we'll just wait and see.
"If I don't make that game I should be ready for the semi-final on 17 June."
The Red Hands play the Ernemen in their Ulster SFC opener and Donegal or Armagh await the winners on 17 June.
McGuigan was making a satisafctory recovery from a leg break he suffered in a club game last April and had resumed playing for his club Ardboe when complications set in.
"The surgeon is happy enough that he has got the problem sorted but I won't be able to tell until I start sprinting," said McGuigan.
"Hopefully Mickey will let me play a few games for my club.
"I know the county men aren't allowed to play but maybe he'll make an exception to the rule so I can get a few games under my belt, get the feel of the ball again," he added.
