The fixture-makers were harsh on Tyrone this season with three of their four away games coming against Connacht opposition. Yet, they’ve probably picked the best time to face Galway as last season’s All-Ireland finalists look set to be without a host of their first-team regulars.
Damien Comer and Rob Finnerty are both injured while Shane Walsh has yet to return to the panel following Kilmacud’s All-Ireland club success.
Kieran Molloy (injured) and Liam Silke (travelling) are also unavailable as Pádraic Joyce’s men look for their first win of the campaign after drawing their opener to Mayo before losing to Roscommon last time out.
