McGuinness relief as injured Donegal duo return

Jim McGuinness says Michael Murphy and Rory Kavanagh are “in the picture” to play for Donegal in tomorrow night’s Ulster SFC tie against Derry.

Kavanagh, man of the match in the win over Cavan four weeks ago, picked up an ankle injury in a club game while Murphy hasn’t played since sustaining a medial knee ligament injury in a league match against Dublin three months ago.

The Donegal boss is renowned for keeping his intended starting 15 under wraps until before throw-in, but regardless of what team is announced, it seems the key duo are close to a return.
