Gallagher, who has been in excellent form for Donegal this season, walked off nursing an injury to an elbow.

Gallagher left the venue in a sling and, with just two weeks to go until the Tyrone game, he is now rated as a major doubt.

ā€œIt’s difficult to know,ā€ Donegal manager Declan Bonner said.

ā€œThe medical team are looking at him. The fact he came off the way he did…hopefully it’s not too serious, but we’ll know more later on.ā€

Gallagher will be assessed again today to determine the extent of the injury.

An All-Ireland semi-final spot is up for grabs for the winner when Donegal and Tyrone collide on August 4.
