A hamstring injury has ruled Justin McMahon out of Tyrone's Allianz Football League Division 2 final against Kildare on Sunday.

The All Star full back sustained the injury while playing for his club Omagh St. Enda's the weekend before last and has failed to recover in time. Martin Penrose is also unlikely to feature, despite returning to full training after missing Tyrone's last three league games with a dislocated shoulder, while top-scorer Kyle Coney will miss the rest of the season with a groin problem.

"He (Penrose) will be in contention for a place on the panel, but not a starting place," Tyrone assistant manager Tony Donnelly told the Irish News.

"He hasn't the work done. But it's good to have him back in full training."

Meanwhile, Joe McMahon is set to play some part in the Croke Park showdown after recovering from a knee injury.

"Joe did a full week's training last week and a full session this week as well and he's working back to full fitness," Donnelly added. Tweet
