Toye given clean bill of health

Christy Toye has been a key player for Donegal since 2002

Donegal captain Christy Toye has been given a clean bill of health and discharged from Letterkenny Hospital after feeling unwell earlier this week.

Toye was admitted to hospital on Monday after suffering headaches, nausea and a shortage of breath.

But after a series of tests over two days, medical staff said they were satisfied with Toye's health.

Toye plans to train with the squad on Thursday night ahead of the Ulster semi-final against Derry on 18 June.

Toye scored a point in Donegal's narrow victory over Down in Sunday's quarter-final in Ballybofey.

The St Michael's Dunfanaghy clubman has been a key member of the Tir Chonaill side since making his debut in 2002.

Toye also skippered Sligo IT to a Sigerson Cup triumph last year.

Brothers Eamon McGee and Neil McGee both sustained knocks in Sunday's match but they will be fit for the provincial semi-final on Sunday week.

The Donegal squad should be boosted by the availability of Brian Roper who missed the win over Down because of a fractured thumb.

Roper is scheduled to have his cast removed next Monday.
