Tyrone disciplinary chiefs have deemed the injuries which Sean Cavanagh suffered in a recent club game to be accidental.
The 2008 ‘Footballer of the Year’ sustained a broken nose, concussion and facial injuries arising from an incident in Moy’s Tyrone SFC defeat to Edendork last Saturday.
After completing its investigation, Tyrone GAA released the following statement this evening:
"Tyrone GAA has now completed its investigation into the incident during the course of the senior football championship fixture - Edendork vs Moy - in which Sean Cavanagh incurred a serious head injury," said the statement.
"The Tyrone Competitions Control Committee (CCC), on request, considered the referee's report of the game and viewed a video recording of the incident in which Sean was injured.
"The CCC was satisfied that the referee was well-positioned, in clear view of the incident, and adjudicated on the matter appropriately.
"Tyrone GAA takes the opportunity, again, to wish its former senior football team captain, Sean Cavanagh, a speedy recovery from the injury that he sustained."
It comes after the Edendork club threatened legal action over Cavanagh injury coverage.
