Derry are sweating over the fitness of midfielder Patsy Bradley.

With just over two weeks to go before their Ulster SFC clash against Down, Bradley is struggling with a back injury that has troubled him for some time.

The Slaughtneil player has not featured for his club in their last two outings as he battles to overcome the injury again.

Bradley gave a man of the match display in the NFL division 2 final win over Westmeath last month and Derry manager Brian McIver will be keen to have him available for next month's clash.

Barry McGoldrick is another that is struggling to be fit for the Down match as he struggles to shake off a hamstring injury. Tweet
