Tyrone’s preparations for next weekend’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Kerry have been rocked by Covid-19.

According to a report from ulsterherald.com, a number of key players within the Ulster champions’ squad are currently in self-isolation.

It has also been reported that the entire panel was tested for Covid-19 this morning (Saturday).

A statement from the Tyrone county board is expected later.

The Red Hands defeated Monaghan by a point at Croke Park this day last week to land their first Anglo-Celt Cup since 2017, despite being without the services of Rory Brennan, Frank Burns and Tiernan McCann while Feargal Logan communicated with fellow co-manager Brian Dooher remotely as a result of a positive case.
