Mayo manager Stephen Rochford has confirmed that Diarmuid O'Connor will be available for the All Ireland SFC Semi-Final against Tipperary at Croke Park on August 21.

O'Connor missed the Round 4B Qualifiers win over Westmeath, but featured in Saturday's victory against Tyrone.

"I can report he’s alive and well; just a bit of cramp coming out of the game the last day," Rochford said.

"He obviously hadn’t trained in the two weeks previous and that level of intensity; on reflection we could have possibly taken him out a bit earlier. But there’s no worries; he’ll be training fully. We've no other injuries thankfully coming out of Tyrone either."
