Michael Darragh Macauley among three changes for Dublin

Eamonn Fitzmaurice makes two changes to Kerry side ahead of Derry's visit to Killarney

Dublin have made three changes for Sunday’s Division One match in Mullingar. Darragh Nelson comes in at corner back in place of Seán George, who was red carded in last week’s defeat of Kerry.

Footballer of the Year Michael Darragh Macauley replaces Declan O’Mahony and All Star Paul Flynn returns after suspension in place of former Footballer of the Year Alan Brogan, who made his first league appearance in two years last week.

Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice has made two changes to the team that lost to Dublin in Croke Park ahead of Sunday's visit of Derry to Killarney.

Brian Kelly of the Legion club takes over in goal from Brendan Kealy and Conor Cox replaces Michael Geaney in attack, with Stephen O’Brien moving to centre forward.

Kelly’s inclusion is explained as part of a rotation policy for the goalkeeping position, although Kealy had experienced difficulties with his kick-outs last week.

DUBLIN: S Cluxton; D Nelson, P McMahon, M Fitzsimons, E Lowndes, C O’Sullivan, J Cooper; MD Macauley, S Carthy; P Flynn, C Kilkenny, C Reddin; K McManamon, E O’Gara, C Costello.
KERRY: B Kelly; P Murphy, M Griffin, S Enright; P Crowley, B McGuire, J Sherwood; A Maher, D Moran; J Lyne, S O’Brien, D Walsh (capt); BJ Keane, J O'Donoghue, C Cox. Subs: B Kealy, M Geaney, A O'Mahony, P Geaney, P Kilkenny, D Culhane, J Walsh, A Fitzgerald, B Shanahan, S O'Callaghan, M Mangan.
