Gaelic Games Digest: Brian McGuigan's recovery and return to full health are much more important than any thoughts of him playing football again, Tyrone manager Mickey Harte said last night.

A serious eye injury may have ended McGuigan's playing career, according to his father. McGuigan has had two operations in the past week and is facing further specialist surgery in a bid to repair damage he sustained while playing in a club reserve game five weeks ago.

"First and foremost the priority is that Brian is restored to full health, and if football is an option after that, then we'll all be delighted," said Harte. "But the first thing is that if he is well enough to have as good vision as possible, that would be a big success for everybody. And football would be a bonus after that."

McGuigan's father, Frank, a former Tyrone player and All Star, has expressed the fear his son, a double All-Ireland winner and All Star, may be forced to retire: "Having spoken at some length with his consultant, my personal fear is that he may never play football again."

Brian McGuigan had recovered from a broken leg, sustained more than a year ago, when he suffered a related ankle injury.

It was while making a recovery from the ankle problem that he turned out for his club in a reserve league game against Aghyaran in an effort to get some match time under his belt.
