 Mickey Harte includes Owen Mulligan and Michael McGee |
Tyrone boss Mickey Harte has recalled Michael McGee and Owen Mulligan for Sunday's Allianz National Football League semi-final against Fermanagh.The Ernesiders have also named their team for the Croke Park encounter with fit-again Ryan McCloskey replacing Clive Fitzpatrick in the defence.
Loughmacrory man McGee missed Tyrone's win over Cork with a hamstring strain but he returns in place of Ciaran Gourley for Sunday's game.
Mulligan replaces for Seamus Mulgrew while also in the attack, Gerard Cavlan starts at centre half-forward with Brian McGuigan still not fully recovered from an ankle injury.
Stephen O'Neill switches to left half-forward with Enda McGinley moving to take Mulgrew's place on the other wing of the attack.
Kevin Hughes has shaken off a groin problem and will partner Sean Cavanagh at midfield.
Cormac McAnallen is suspended for Sunday's game while Ryan Mellon was not considered because of an illness.
 Oisin McConville: Out for Armagh |
McCloskey's inclusion at the expense of Fitzpatrick at right full-back is the only change from the Fermanagh side which defeated Mayo last time out.
Meanwhile, Armagh will be without Allstar forward Oisin McConville in Sunday's other NFL semi-final against Laois.
McConville is still struggling with a hamstring injury which caused him to miss Armagh's two most recent NFL matches.
John McEntee who missed the defeat in Kerry is expected to return to the starting line-up but there is also a doubt over half-back Andrew McCann.
Armagh will select on Thursday evening.
Laois boss Mick O'Dwyer has selected the same team which defeated Kildare last time out for Sunday's tie against the All-Ireland champions.
Hugh Emerson and David Sweeney were both temporarily thrown off the Laois panel a fortnight ago after missing a training session.
However both were involved in a challenge win over Westmeath at the weekend and they are expected to be included in the replacements for Sunday's game.
