Donegal manager Declan Bonner is "hopeful" of Patrick McBrearty making a return for Sunday’s do-or-die Ulster SFC quarter-final against Tyrone in Ballybofey.

McBrearty missed out on Donegal’s final two Allianz League Division 1 matches with a quad injury with Bonner’s side having overcome Tyrone 2-17 to 2-13 in a dress rehearsal last Sunday week before a 2-18 to 0-10 loss in Tralee on Saturday against league champions Kerry.
