GAA Team News:Jason Sherlock comes into the Dublin line-up in place of the injured Mark Davoren as manager Pat Gilroy made three changes ahead of Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final against Westmeath at Croke Park.
Davoren tore his cruciate in the quarter-final win over Meath and was later ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.
Elsewhere Diarmuid Connolly comes in for Paddy Andrews in the half-forward line, while Rory O’Carroll will make his championship debut at left full-back as the Kilmacud Crokes player replaces Alan Hubbard.
Bernard Brogan is under no illusions the threat Westmeath will pose, despite the Dubs going into the game at Headquarters as favourites.
“When they come up against Dublin, they'll be flying,” said Brogan. “Everyone likes to go out against Dublin in Croke Park in front of a full house.
“I don't expect anything less than a tough challenge against them because they're very well organised and they're tough to break down.”
'We're just concentrating on the Westmeath game. We've had some tough battles with them over the last year and Sunday will be no different, added Brogan”
Management will announce substitutes later in the week.
Laois have also named their side ahead of Saturday’s Leinster SFC encounter with Kildare at O'Connor Park in Tullamore.
Manager Sean Dempsey has gone for an unchanged side that defeated Louth 1-15 to 1-11 in the quarter-final.
There was good news in the Kildare camp as they received a double fitness boost with Mickey Conway and Kevin O’Neill both expected to feature in Saturday’s game.
Conway has recovered from a knee injury that saw him miss the quarter-final win over Offaly, while O'Neill is back in training after a broken collarbone.
Manager Kieran McGeeney will name his starting line-up after training tomorrow night.
