Tyrone may look to find a way to hold back some of their big guns for maximum impact off the bench in the latter stages of their rescheduled All-Ireland SFC semi-final clash with Kerry, despite the uncertainty over the health and availability of several of their players.

Cathal McShane, Conor McKenna, and Darragh Canavan have fully recovered from injury, but the Red Hands are considering keeping at least one of the trio in reserve as part of the strategy to halt the Sam Maguire Cup favourites.
