Rogers set for Down return
Down are expected to be injury free for their Ulster SFC semi-final against Tyrone on Saturday, June 19, with midfielder Ambrose Rogers set to return to club action this week.
Rogers is expected to line out for his club Longstone this Friday night in their Down Senior Football League Division 1 clash with Liatroim Fontenoys.
Speaking at today's announcement of the OPEL/GPA Player Award winners, Footballer of the Month Benny Coulter says that the Mourne County are almost back to full strength.
"We have everyone back now and we have big Ambrose (Rogers) back playing a club game this week, so far we have no injuries," he said.
Rogers last featured for Down as a substitute in their National League victory over Laois at Pairc Esler in April.
James McCartan's charges will return to county training in the coming days, after all the players came through unscathed following a full round of Down Senior Football League games last week.
Coulter added: "We have club games this Friday, but most of us won't be playing in them. Ambrose will probably get a game, and a few of the other the other lads who didn't get a game against Donegal.
"There will be 22 or 23 other lads who won't be playing at all, so thankfully that's that out of the road. Thankfully we are injury free from here on in, if we don't pick up any knocks at training."
