McGinley will be fit, says Harte

TYRONE manager Mickey Harte is “very optimistic” that All Star midfielder Enda McGinley will be fit to play against Cork in the All-Ireland semi-final.

A recurring hamstring strain forced McGinley to miss Tyrone’s quarter-final victory over Kildare, where the All-Ireland champions struggled to deal with the physical midfield power of Dermot Earley.

“We are hopeful that he (McGinley) will be okay,’’ Harte said. “He has had treatment on the injury. He didn’t do a lot at the weekend, but we are hoping that he will be able to do a full session by the end of the week. We are very optimistic at the minute.’’
