Tyrone manager Malachy O'Rourke has labeled star forward Darragh Canavan a 'big loss' as the Red Hands fight to avoid relegation. Tyrone currently sit three points from safety after losing 1-15 to 0-13 to Louth.

The team faces a difficult task with Canavan away for a month and their promotion hopes fading. Tyrone hosts bottom-of-the-table Offaly on Saturday, where O'Rourke anticipates a 'massive battle' to bounce back.
