McManus set to miss Tyrone quarter-final

Conor McManus has almost resigned himself to missing out on Sunday’s Ulster quarter-final with Tyrone.

Although he has yet to concede that he won’t be able to play some part in Clones because of an ankle injury, he admits to having exhausted every imaginable avenue after visiting cryo and oxygen chambers in Wexford and Down as well as a visit to Sean Boylan’s herbal centre in Dunboyne.

As for the prospect of taking a spot on the bench, he said: “It’s a possibility but again I suppose it’s just a matter of how it reacts over the next couple of days to doing a bit of jogging and see how it goes.
