Donegal defender Eoghan Ban Gallagher will miss Sunday-week’s big battle with Tyrone in Ballybofey.
The Killybegs man underwent a scan on an arm injury in Letterkenny yesterday.
Gallagher had to be withdrawn during Saturday evening’s 0-20 to 0-13 win over Roscommon at Dr Hyde Park.
He was replaced by Neil McGee after 19 minutes and left Roscommon in a sling..
Donegal were hopeful that Gallagher would recover in time to line out against the Red Hands, but are now resigned to being without the flying defender.
The news is more positive, however, on Frank McGlynn. The Glenfin man had to leave the action on 56 minutes, but Donegal are confident that the 2012 All-Ireland winner will be fit to face Tyrone.
Donegal are already without cruciate victim Patrick McBrearty, who suffered the horror injury in the Ulster final win over Fermanagh.
A capacity crowd is expected when the Ulster rivals clash, with an All-Ireland semi-final spot up for grabs.
