Connor McAliskey facing 14 month lay-off

Tyrone forward Connor McAliskey is facing up to 14 months out of the game after learning that his knee injury is even worse than first feared.

The Clonoe attacker was believed to have suffered a cruciate injury in Tyrone’s opening game of 2017 against Cavan in the McKenna Cup.

However he has also ruptured his medial ligament, adding at least another four months onto his rehab and recovery.
