Tyrone forward Mark Bradley could be in line for a return to action in this Saturday's All-Ireland SFC qualifier against Cork.

Bradley has been side-lined since picking up an ankle injury in the Red Hands' Ulster SFC quarter-final defeat to Monaghan in May and his return would be a big boost to Mickey Harte this weekend, as his side look to oust the Rebels for a place in the inaugural Super 8s.

As for fellow attacker Lee Brennan, the National League's top-scorer is expected to be side-lined once again this weekend as he continues his recovery from a hamstring problem.

"With Lee's being a hamstring injury, a recurrence of that is possible," Harte told BBC Sport. "It's not a question of would he be able to make it, it's would it be the wise thing to do to take a chance on it at this stage, for his own sake.

"It would really be a medical decision on that one, but I think Mark Bradley is in a much more positive place, and there's a better chance of him making the squad."
