Will Tyrone ever have full squad again?

Just wonder will Tyrone ever play with a full side ever again after the weekend games.
Owen Mulligan looks very doubtful for their opener against Down while Sean Cavanagh and Tommy McGuigan are also nursing knocks after club matches.
Cavanagh is a very important player for the Red Hands and any injury to him would be a huge blow to Tyrone.
Mulligan on the other hand is a confidence player, when he's hot he's brilliant but there are other occasions when the Cookstown man is very ordinary.
He needs a foil, being at his best when he played alongside Peter Canavan and Stephen O'Neill although I would have fancied my own chances with that pair by my side.
However, Mulligan has frequently struggled when he has been the fulcrum of the attack.
I think it's a case of the opposition being able to put their best markers on him in the absence of his partners in crime from the 2005 season and also the fact that Brian McGuigan wasn't around to supply the ammo.
I still think that Tyrone will have too much in the locker for Down who while they are on the way back are a long way short of being the genuine article.
