Tyrone football supremo Mickey Harte has conceded that while star attacker Owen Mulligan has regained full fitness, question marks surround his ability to start a match after a long lay-off through injury. "He missed out on crucial times," said Harte. "He's probably fit enough now, but it's a question of being match-fit. "You can't get match-fit unless you get games at this level, and it's not easy to get games at this level if the people that are in there are performing well. "So it's a bit of a catch 22 situation. He's been very unfortunate because he was flying the time he got the injury against Laois. "He missed a lot of training at that time, the injury held him back for a long time. "Now he's back champing at the bit, and it's a great thing to have, a player of his quality and calibre itching to get on that field." Tweet
