Donegal manager Jim McGuinness says his team have a “fairly significant” injury worry over captain Paddy McBrearty ahead of next weekend’s Allianz FL Division 2 final against Armagh.  

The Kilcar ace was forced off during the first-half of the Tir Chonaill men’s 1-18 to 1-10 win over Meath in Ballybofey yesterday evening and left the field in some discomfort.

McBrearty’s fellow clubman Ryan McHugh went off injured later in the game and, speaking to BBC Sport NI afterwards, McGuinness described the situation as “not ideal” ahead of the showdown with the Orchard County.

"When you see a guy like that going off in that manner, you're always worried," he said.

"Patrick is probably the obvious one definitely. We'll have to see how that develops over the next couple of days.

"You're playing in a dead rubber game today and you've a fairly significant injury and maybe another one so it's not ideal.

"It's not what we want but we're going to have to dust ourselves down now and get ready for next weekend."
