McAliskey had just re-joined the panel, having decided to take a break in November 2019.
He missed last season, but ended his brief exile when invited to return by new manager Feargal Logan and Brian Dooher ahead of the current campaign.
However, he has not featured in any of the three National Football League games to date, sitting out the clashes with Donegal, Armagh and
Monaghan.
One of the county’s most talented attackers, his decision highlights the wealth of quality within the squad and the battle faced by all those involved to force their way into the team.
Along with club-mate McNulty, he has been competing with more than a dozen other top class forwards for places in the Red Hand attacking unit.
