Kerry v Meath team news: As expected, Meath captain Stephen Bray is back in Eamonn O'Brien's side for Sunday's All-Ireland football semi-final against Kerry. Bray missed the quarter-final win over Mayo through suspension.

With that four-week ban - arising from a red card in the qualifiers - now expired Bray returns to the half forward line with Mickey Burke making way.

Despite concerns over his fitness, Anthony Moyles is named at full back for the Royals. Moyles picked up a hamstring injury earlier in the week but has had extensive physiotherapy on the problem and is deemed fit enough to start against the Kingdom.

Kerry also named their side last night with Tadhg Kennelly returning to the frontline in place of Tommy Walsh.

Kerry: D Murphy; M Ó Sé, T Griffin, T O'Sullivan; T Ó Sé, M McCarthy, K Young; D Ó Sé, S Scanlon; P Galvin, T Kennelly, D Walsh; C Cooper, Declan O'Sullivan, Darren O'Sullivan.

Meath: P O'Rourke; C O'Connor, A Moyles, E Harrington; S Kenny, C McGuinness, C King; N Crawford, B Meade; P Byrne, J Sheridan, S Bray; D Bray, B Farrell, C Ward.
