Dublin manager Jim Gavin has made three changes to his team for Sunday's All Ireland Football Semi-Final showdown with Kerry at Croke Park.
James McCarthy returns from injury to take his place at wing-back. The Ballymun Kickhams’ defender’s inclusion means Ciaran Kilkenny is back in the forwards.
In midfield, Denis Bastick comes into the team in place of Michael Darragh Macauley. The veteran Templeogue Synge Street man will partner Brian Fenton.
Paul Mannion is also named to start. The Kilmacud Crokes man came off the bench before netting a goal in the quarter-final victory over Donegal.
Kevin McManamon and Paddy Andrews are unfortunate to miss out as the talented forwards will have to be content with a place on the bench.
Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice is keeping the changes to the minimum just one altertation to the XV that defeated Clare in the quarter-final.
Colm ‘Gooch’ Cooper starts with Darran O'Sullivan making way.
