Homan still doubtful for Orchard test

Dublin midfielder Darren Homan remains seriously doubtful to be fit in time for tomorrow evening's Croke Park battle with All-Ireland champions Armagh.

Homan shipped a heavy knock from Derry's Anthony Tohill last Saturday in Clones and is struggling with torn shoulder ligaments which will surely keep him out of action.

Meanwhile, boss Tommy Lyons will not release his team until the 11th hour and there are expected to be starting places for Darren Magee, Jason Sherlock, Senan Connell and Dessie Farrell.
