Tyrone defender Dermot Carlin has been ruled out of action for six weeks.

The Killyclogher clubman will not be available as the Red Hands begin their back-door campaign, having suffered a broken nose against Donegal on Sunday after entering the fray as a half-time substitute.

The first round of the Qualifiers is scheduled for the final weekend of June and defender Carlin would have to make a quicker-than-expected recovery to feature for Mickey Harte's team.

The unlucky defender also missed most of the national football league due to a knee injury. Tweet
