Crash victim Mulligan a doubt for Tyrone

Highly-rated forward Owen Mulligan is a doubt for Tyrone's Ulster SFC opener this Sunday against Derry following a car crash.

Boss Mickey Harte revealed that Mulligan's car was hit from behind at the weekend and the Cookstown man has been sore and stiff since.

Harte will name his team after training on Thursday night with Peter Canavan and Ger Cavlan definitely out.

Harte said at today's launch of the All-Ireland football championship: "Owen complained of some soreness in his back after the crash and that's always a worry. We'll be keeping a constant eye on him."
