James McCarthy could be back to skipper Dublin against Tyrone next Sunday after making a return to action.
McCarthy lined out at midfield this morning for Ballymun Kickhams in a league game against neighbours Na Fianna, the club of Dublin boss Dessie Farrell, who was in attendance as the Mobhi Road outfit scored a four-point win.
But the 32-year-old came through unscathed and was reported to have been moving well in what was his first appearance since Dublin’s O’Byrne Cup campaign, having been sidelined by a hamstring injury as they slipped to four successive League defeats for the first time in almost 50 years.
