Colm Cavanagh is in a race against time to be fit for Tyrone's Ulster SFC opener against Monaghan.

The all-action midfielder sat out Sunday's league win over Kerry due to a quad muscle injury sustained at training last Thursday night.

Manager Mickey Harte confirmed that the influential Moy clubman could be sidelined for up to six weeks but The Irish News is reporting today that scan results could keep Cavanagh out of action for eight weeks.

If that's the case, then he will struggle to be ready for the provincial quarter-final date with the Farney County in Omagh on May 20^th.
