McHugh injury doubt for Donegal

All Star Mark McHugh is a major doubt for the start of Donegal’s national league campaign with a pelvic injury.

McHugh (22) has not taken part in any field sessions since Jim McGuinness’s side claimed the county’s second All-Ireland title in September because of Osteitis pubis, an inflammation of the pelvis experienced by many elite sportsmen.

McHugh remained on the sidelines for his college side IT Sligo’s entire FBD Connacht League, but said that he still retains hope of featuring for the champions in the coming weeks.
