The McMahon brothers, Justin and Joe, are set to give Tyrone a double boost by returning to action in the near future.

Full back Justin has recovered from a long-standing hamstring problem to put himself in contention for a starting place against Cavan in Wednesday night's rescheduled McKenna Cup final, while older sibling Joe is also on the comeback trail from a groin injury.

"Justy did his first full session last week, it was good to see him back on the pitch. He has been working away all along on his own," Tyrone trainer Fergal McCann explained to the Irish News.

"Joey has been doing the exact same. He's getting on really well in the rehab over the last couple of weeks, so that's positive news for us as well.

"We'll go session by session with Justy, and we're waiting on Joe to get back into collective training. But Justy is looking stronger with each session, and he should hopefully be very much part of the plans for the McKenna Cup final.

"Joe is still a couple of weeks away yet. We're not going to be rushing anybody in, when they're ready to go, they're going to be good to go." Tweet
