Down will be without Danny Magill for Sunday’s Ulster SFC quarter-final against Donegal as he continues his recovery from an ACL injury.

The 24-year-old has been sidelined since sustaining the dreaded injury during Burren’s Down SFC opener against Castlewellan last summer and had initially hoped to be back for the trip to Letterkenny to face the recently-crowned Allianz League champions.

"I'm getting there, close," he said in an interview with BBC NI.

"I'm working out twice a day, four days a week and the other three days I'm hitting something else. I'm either on grass or in the gym for upper body. I'm at one with it in terms of I can't change it. The only thing I can affect is how I come back and the plan is to come back bigger, better, faster, stronger.

"I'm at one with it in terms of everyone knows where I want to get to and everyone's pushing me towards that goal."
