Tyrone manager Mickey Harte has recalled All Star centrefielder Enda McGinley to his side for Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final against Munster champions Cork.

McGinley returns from a two month lay-off with a hamstring injury to resume his partnership with Kevin Hughes, affording Seán Cavanagh the chance to leaf the attack.

Tommy McGuigan is the player to lose out from the side that started against Kildare in the All-Ireland quarter-final.

Full back Justin McMahon switches with Conor Gormley in a bid to cope with the height of Cork’s big centre forward Pearse O’Neill, at whom a lot of the team’s kick-outs are directed.

Tyrone (SFC v Cork):P McConnell; PJ Quinn, C Gormley, R McMenamin, D Harte, J McMahon, P Jordan; K Hughes, E McGinley; B Dooher (capt), Sean Cavanagh, Joe McMahon, M Penrose, S O'Neill, O Mulligan.
