Gaelic Games:Dublin manager Pat Gilroy has made four changes to his side to play Donegal at Croke Park tomorrow might, including a return to action for Cian O'Sullivan in the full back line for the Division One clash.

The Kilmacud Crokes defender has not started in this league campaign for Dublin after struggling with a hamstring injury since the All-Ireland final.

O’Sullivan will start at right corner back, while his Kilmacud team-mate Kevin Nolan comes into the side at left wing back, with Darren Daly and Craig Dias, who started in the defeat to Down in Newry, dropping out from the team.

Johnny Cooper, who made his first start in that game, moves from left full back to right wing back in place of James McCarthy, with Philly McMahon coming in for his Ballymun Kickhams team-mate and taking Cooper’s position.
