 Tyrone player Brian McGuigan sustained a serious eye injury |
Tyrone's Brian McGuigan is not sure if he will be able to make a return to competitive football despite playing in a charity match on Saturday night. The two-times All-Ireland winner had not played since sustaining a serious eye injury in a reserve game for his club Ardboe in May 2007.
McGuigan captained an All Star team in the exhibition match at Ballinderry.
"I cannot make any promises about a comeback. I am not 100% healed yet," said the 2003 All Star winner.
"It was nice to be playing again even if it was a charity match and the pace was slow.
"I was just glad to be out there getting a feel of the ball and keeping the fitness levels up.
"Life is treating me well at the minute.
"At the start things were not so good with the eye but the surgeon Mr Sharkey has done a fabulous job and I am starting to go forward.
"I will be taking things slowly but hopefully I will get to having the eye nearly right, although you cannot be 100% sure.
"When I broke my leg I said I would be back but this time I am just going to play it by ear and see what happens."
