Rory Gallagher doesn't believe burnout is a concern for Michael Murphy.

The Donegal All-Ireland winning captain has played eight games for county, university and province since the start of the year, and is expected to start Sunday's mouth-watering Allianz League clash with Tyrone in Omagh.

"Michael has played a lot of football, but the other side of that is he hasn't done a lot of training so far this year," the Donegal assistant manager explained to Gaelic Life.

"Any player will tell you it's much more enjoyable to be playing games than training, and Michael is obviously enjoying playing at the moment."
