Stephen O'Neill expects to play a full part against Donegal on Sunday week.

Tyrone's attacking talisman - who was named as player of the national football league - missed the Division One final against Dublin after injuring his ankle during the pre-match warm-up but says he'll be fully fit for the Ulster SFC quarter-final clash with the holders in Ballybofey on May 26th:

"The ankle's grand," he told The Irish Times. "I'll be back training again this week and I'm looking forward to getting back.

"Preparations have been going well. There are no injury worries from the league games so we're just looking forward to it now.

"It was just unfortunate the way it happened. I stepped back and there were a couple of balls behind me and I went over on it. I was getting a wee bit of bother from the ankle anyway so I didn't want to take the chance on it.

"We put in a good performance [against Dublin] but we lost. It was an important game, a good, tight battle and the sort of intensity we'll be meeting against Donegal but it's going to be a completely different type of game.

"It'll be a lot more defensive probably and not as open or free-scoring so we'll just have to take the good from the Dublin game and be prepared for a different challenge.

"Time will tell. We've a lot of new boys in and they gained a lot of good experience from playing Dublin in a Division One final. Hopefully they'll learn from that and be able to close a game out when one or two points ahead because on Sunday week I'm sure it'll be very close as well.

"We just need to use that experience to get over the finish line this time." Tweet
