Down midfielder Dan Gordon is likely to be ruled out of Saturday's Ulster SFC replay against Tyrone at Newry after scans showed he has broken a thumb.

Gordon suffered the injury during Sunday's 2-8 to 2-8 draw but still went on to win the man-of-the-match award after a superb performance.

Ambrose Rodgers, an impressive sub at Healy Park, is expected to replace Gordon in the Mourne midfield.

Justin McMahon is the latest Tyrone doubt because of a hamstring injury.

Enda McGinley, Colm Cavanagh and Davy Harte were already injury worries for boss Mickey Harte.

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.

606: DEBATE

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

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.
