Homan doubtful for Dubs' replay

Dublin midfielder Darren Homan is a doubt for next Saturday's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final replay with Tyrone due to a back spasm.

The Round Towers Clondalkin clubman suffered the injury in training this morning and was taken to hospital for examination.

It remains to be seen if he will be included in the Dublin squad, which is confirmed on Tuesday, for the re-match with the Red Hands.

Homan was a substitute in the drawn game last Sunday, coming on for Coman Goggins in the second half. He has lost his place alongside Ciaran Whelan at centre field recently to converted midfielder Shane Ryan.

Dublin boss Paul Caffrey is already sweating on the fitness of full-back and captain Paddy Christie, whose groin injury from last month's Leinster final win is still troubling him.
