Tyrone v Down

Enda McGinley remains a fitness doubt for Tyrone's Ulster SFC replay against Down at Newry on Saturday (1900 BST).

The knock McGinley sustained in Sunday's draw is unrelated to the serious neck injury he suffered in 2003 but he may still miss Saturday's game.

McGinley suffered concussion in Sunday's game and he underwent scans in a Belfast hospital on Monday.

Colm Cavanagh (ankle) is a doubt for Saturday's replay but Davy Harte may be available despite a broken nose.

"Enda is more optimistic than he was last night," Tyrone manager Mickey Harte told BBC Sport Interactive on Monday.

"He's having some scans and obviously he wants to make sure that the problem is not related to the neck injury that he had before.

"Davy Harte has a broken nose and there's probably not a lot that they can do with it. We'll just have to wait and see whether he is going to be able to play on Saturday.

"Colm Cavanagh has an ankle injury and again, we'll have to give it a few days although it didn't look particularly good when he came off in the second half."

Down are waiting to see if Ross Carr will be allowed to patrol the sideline.

Carr was able to take his place on the sideline in Sunday's game after he was granted "interim relief" by the GAA's disciplinary resolutions authority.

The DRA will hold a further hearing this week to decide whether Carr's eight-week suspension should be lifted.

The Down manager received the ban after criticising a referee after his team's National League defeat by Fermanagh in April.
