Joe McMahon is on course for a return to the Tyrone team after undergoing surgery on a groin problem in Germany last month. McMahon recently returned to full training, and is expected to be in contention for a starting place when Tyrone take on Limerick in their next league outing on Sunday week. "I might be ready to play against Limerick. I have played a challenge game with the club and a practice match with Tyrone and it has gone okay," he said. Doctors at the hospital in Munich where McMahon underwent the revolutionary surgery guarantee that a player will be back in training within 7-10 days of having the procedure and McMahon returned to training within that timeframe. His team-mate Philip Jordan underwent surgery on a similar problem last week at the same hospital and expects to be back playing within a month. Tyrone boss Mickey Harte has already been boosted by the return of long-term injury victims Brian Dooher and Conor Gormley, but this has been offset by fresh injuries to Sean Cavanagh and Cormac McGinley.
