Tyrone are optimistic that Enda McGinley will be fit to face Cork in the All-Ireland SFC semi-final.

McGinley's troublesome hamstring meant he missed the quarter-final victory over Kildare, but manager Mickey Harte is optimistic he'll be ready come Sunday week.

Harte said in The Examiner: ' We are hopeful that he (McGinley) will be okay. He has had treatment on the injury. He didn’t do a lot at the weekend, but we are hoping that he will be able to do a full session by the end of the week. We are very optimistic at the minute.'

Indeed Harte has few injury worries ahead of the semi-final with keeper John Devine the only player definitely out.

'I think everyone is in with a fighting chance. Maybe for the first time in our lives we will have 34 or 35 available to us,' Harte confirmed.
