COLM CAVANAGH AND Tiernan McCann have both been named to start for Tyrone in their Ulster quarter-final clash with Monaghan this Sunday in Omagh [Throw-in, 4pm].
Both players have been nursing injuries of late, with Cavanagh not featuring during the National League due to a quad muscle injury.
GAA.ie reports that he has recently returned to training.
McCann suffered a broken knee cap in February after he was substituted in the 77th minute of Tyrone’s National League tie against Kildare.
A subsequent MRI scan confirmed the extent of the injury.
Lee Brennan, who has been managing a hamstring injury he picked up in a club game, has also been selected to start in the full-forward line.

Meanwhile, Mattie Donnelly will partner Cavanagh in midfield and Niall Sludden has been named to start at centre-half forward.
