Donnelly left out of Tyrone squad to face Dublin after second concussion in seven months

Goalkeeper Niall Morgan returns to the starting lineup.

TYRONE ALL-STAR Mattie Donnelly has been left out of the team to face Dublin, after leaving the pitch with a concussion during last week’s match against Roscommon.

The concussion, which happened 15 minutes in, was Donnelly’s second in seven months, after getting a knock to the head in a club game for Trillick last July.

Peter Harte drops back to the half-back line to cover Donnelly’s absence, while Declan McClure comes in to fill Harte’s position from last week in the half forwards.

Goalkeeper Niall Morgan also returns for the league game against the current All-Ireland champions after being left on the bench for last week’s victory over victory in Omagh.

    Saw him play for Rainey a few years ago and was by far the stand out player on the field. Best of luck to him. A great story

    Dragons or any welsh side, is a step backwards from any irish side. I guess he is a welsh international however

    @Justin Flynn: once he got capped for Wales it was inevitable he was leaving ulster, but a good decision for him as he would never be called up for ireland. Great story and wish him well
