Cassidy set to miss Tyrone’s opener

Tyrone midfielder Aidan Cassidy is losing his fight for fitness ahead of the Ulster SFC clash with Donegal on Sunday week.

Cassidy picked up an ankle injury in the closing stages of the National League final defeat to Dublin, and has been unable to train since.

“Aidan Cassidy is the worst of all and he hasn’t trained fully with the team yet, so he is top of the list,” manager Mickey Harte said last night as he reported a “mixed bag” of injuries.
