Andy Mallon returns to the Armagh starting line-up for Sunday's McKenna Cup semi-final against fierce rivals Tyrone at Casement Park (1430 GMT).

Defener Mallon, who had a slight hamstring problem, returns in place of PJ Donnelly.

Stephen Kernan is also named after an X-ray revealed that a shin injury was no more than severe bruising which he suffered against Cavan last week.

Ciaran McKinney again stands in for injured goalkeeper Paul Hearty.

Meanwhile, Kevin Hughes will return to the Tyrone training camp on Thursday night following his return from Australia earlier this week.

Hughes, who left the province over a year ago, was man-of-the-match in Tyrone's All-Ireland glory in defeating fierce rivals Armagh in the 2003 final.

"He has declared that he's interested in joining the squad," said Tyrone boss Mickey Harte.

"If he backs that up with good performances, then we'll have him."

However, Hughes is unlikely to feature against the Orchardmen at Casement Park.

Harte has no major injury concerns ahead of the game as Tyrone continue to defend their early-season trophy.

Armagh: C McKinney; P Duffy, F Bellew, E McNulty; A Kernan, C McKeever, A Mallon; K McGeeney, J McEntee; P McKeever, S Kernan, L O'Hare; S McDonnell, G Swift, T McEntee.
