GAA team news: Cork manager Conor Counihan has called on Nicholas Murphy to fill the void left by the injured Daniel Goulding ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland quarter-final against Mayo at Croke Park.

The veteran midfielder’s timely return comes at full forward after Goulding injured his ankle in the win over Down last weekend and his replacement Barry O’Driscoll lasted just nine minutes before fracturing his jaw.

Kerry welcome back some big-hitters of their own, with the return of Paul Galvin and Tomas Ó Sé ahead of the the earlier game at Headquarters against Limerick.

Galvin replaces Kieran O’leary, while Ó Sé’s return from suspension sees Shane Enright make way.

Limerick manager Maurice Horan is expected to include Stephen Lucey or Mark O’Riordan in his plans now their commitments to hurling are finished for the season.

Horan will have to fill the void in midfield due to the red card Tom Lee received in last Saturday’s defeat of Wexford. John Galvin, one of the highest rated midfielders in the country, is already out for the campaign having sustained cruciate knee ligament damage.

Mickey Harte has gone with the same Tyrone team that proved too strong for Armagh in Omagh for Saturday’s round four football championship qualifier against Roscommon in Dublin.

It means the shoo-ins of previous years – like captain Brian Dooher, Owen Mulligan, Enda McGinley, Justin McMahon, Davy Harte and Martin Penrose - are held in reserve.

Tyrone (SFC v Roscommon):P McConnell; M Swift, Joe McMahon, R McMenamin; Sean O'Neill, C Gormley, P Jordan; K Hughes, S Cavanagh; C Cavanagh, B McGuigan, P Harte; T McGuigan, M Donnelly, K Coney.

Cork (SFC v Mayo):A Quirke; E Cotter, M Shields, E Cadogan; N O'Leary, J Miskella, P Kissane; A O'Connor, A Walsh; F Goold, P Kelly, P O'Neill; D O'Connor, N Murphy, P Kerrigan.

Kerry (SFC v Limerick):B Kealy; K Young, M Ó Sé, T O'Sullivan; T Ó Sé, E Brosnan, A O'Mahony; A Maher, B Sheehan; P Galvin, Declan O'Sullivan, D Walsh; C Cooper, K Donaghy, Darran O'Sullivan.
