The return of former Football of the Year Tomás Ó Sé is one of three changes Kerry have made to the team that meets Dublin in Killarney on Sunday. Into the starting line-up come Ó Sé, Bryan Sheehan and Barry John Walsh in place of Shane Enright, who has a hamstring strain, Johnny Buckley, club-tied with Dr Crokes, and Conor Cox, who all started against Mayo in last weekend’s first-day defeat.
Holders Cork, who are also looking to recover from a poor start, also make changes in the announced team. Michael Shields, Graham Canty, Alan O’Connor and Ciarán Sheehan all return in place of Tom Clancy, Tomás Clancy, Andrew O’Sullivan and John O’Rourke.
The team named is the same as named last week before the reverse of the above four changes were made before throw-in.
Tyrone, who opened their first Division One campaign in three years with a win in Newry, bring Conor Clarke in for Cathal McCarron, with former All Star fullback Justin McMahon selected on the edge of the square. Patrick McNiece is also brought in, in place of Kevin Gallagher.
