Tyrone defender Michael McKernan is unlikely to be fit to face Kerry in Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-final, but there’s more positive news on the injury front with regard to defenders Peter Teague and Rory Brennan.

McKernan is back in training, but not yet in full contact, following a shoulder injury sustained in the early stages of the final group game against Cavan at Brewster Park.
