Mark Poland will be available for Down's Ulster Championship quarter-final with Derry on Sunday at Celtic Park.

The forward sustained an eye injury during the warm-up to the Allianz Football League Division 2 final in April against Roscommon and did not feature in that game.

Meanwhile, fellow Down players Conor Garvey, Ryan Johnston and Ross McGarry are doubts for the clash.

Garvey has a back injury, Johnston picked up an ankle injury in a club game, while McGarry is struggling with a hamstring injury.

It's 1994 since Down last reigned supreme in Ulster and victory on Foyleside would see them play either Armagh or Donegal in the provincial semi-final on 27 June.
