Canavan will know his fate after scan

PETER CANAVAN will know today what he has to do to be ready for the All-Ireland final on September 28.

The Tyrone talisman was forced out of yesterday's semi-final after only 13 minutes with an ankle injury.

He watched the second half on crutches, and while he was in tears celebrating Tyrone's 0-13 to 0-6 success, he was less cheerful about his final prospects. "I will know better after the scan. It is too early to tell at the moment how bad the injury is," he said. The legendary full-forward has channelled his whole career into leading Tyrone to their first All-Ireland. If he misses the final, it will be the saddest story of the summer.
