Full Tyrone squad back in training ahead of rescheduled All-Ireland semi-final clash with Kerry

Tyrone's full squad are finally back in training ahead of their rescheduled All-Ireland semi-final clash with Kerry.

The Red Hand men endured a Covid-19 outbreak that saw much of their squad forced into isolation as several players suffered symptoms of Covid-19.

The outbreak led to the crunch Croke Park clash being postponed twice after the county initially withdrew from the first refixed tie as they could not field a team.

But as the GAA sanctioned a second week's delay to the clash, the All-Ireland final has now been pushed back to Saturday September 11.

"There was a good period there where we didn't have everybody on the training field at the same time but we have got to that point now, which is helpful and positive, and where everybody is physically present and they are out of isolation," Tyrone manager Feargal Logan told the Irish Independent.

"We’ve got everybody together."

He added: "Any phone call can take you out as a close contact. You're very anxious with every call so until we get through to Thursday even Friday night, it will be hard to say.

"On paper nobody is in lockdown but we still have players coming back and we have to assess them for the next couple of days. I couldn’t say to you that some boys you would like to start would be playing in Croke Park."
