Cavan boss Eamonn Coleman has a spate of injuries to contend with ahead of their Ulster SFC opener against Down on Sunday week.

In an amazing statistic over half of the county's first team have undergone surgery at some point in the last year.

Former AllStar Dermot McCabe is given a half chance of making the tie but elsewhere the news is not good.
