Donegal manager Declan Bonner has confirmed that Michael Murphy will sit out the remainder of the Allianz League but will be available for the Ulster SFC.

Murphy was withdrawn after just five minutes of Donegal’s 1-20 to 4-11 draw with Monaghan in the Division 1 North clash last Saturday with a hamstring strain. Donegal travel to Armagh on Saturday evening in their final regulation Division 1 fixture and will either be involved in the semi-finals or a relegation play-off. They are due to face Down in the provincial preliminary round on June 26.
