Freeman / McManus / Lennon update
May 11, 2012
Monaghan's Conor McManus gets in his shot as Tyrone's Ryan McMenamin closes in.
As the Farney men's May 27th Ulster SFC date with Antrim looms, manager Eamonn McEneaney has assessed each player's chance of being fit, with Freeman "doubtful", Lennon given a "reasonable chance" and McManus "back and fit".
Referring to former All Star Freeman, the Monaghan boss told The Irish News: "He tweaked the hamstring again and Tommy would have to be rated as doubtful at this moment.
"He had been working his way back, making very good progress, had played a few games with his club, played in the second half of the final league game against Tyrone.
"The injury - given how close the Antrim game is now - would be a concern."
On Lennon, who hurt his ankle in a challenge against Armagh in Oram last weekend, 'Macca' continued: "We are working to get him back in time for the first round of the Ulster championship.
"Initially, it was suspected that he had broken the ankle, but thankfully that turned out not to be the case.
"Conor McManus is back in full training after the hip surgery he had earlier in the year, has played a few games for his club and is fully fit. It is a big bonus for us to have a player of his quality back and fit for the championship." Tweet
