Karl Lacey and Mark McHugh are doubts for Donegal's meeting with Tyrone on Sunday.

Footballer of the Year Lacey has been back in training for three weeks, having missed both the league and McKenna Cup, but there are doubts over his level of match fitness as the All-Ireland champions prepare to put their provincial and national crowns on the line against the Red Hands at Ballybofey.

Fellow All Star McHugh, meanwhile, continues to be troubled by a long-term groin injury and there is a feeling that manager Jim McGuinness may not risk him from the start this weekend.

Donegal are otherwise at full strength, while their opponents insist that talismanic attacker Stephen O'Neill will be fit to play, despite missing the league final with an ankle problem.
