Cillian O'Connor is one of four changes to the Mayo team for the All-Ireland SFC qualifiers round 4 showdown with neighbours Galway at the LIT Gaelic Grounds (throw-in 7pm).

O'Connor made his first competitive appearance for the county since undergoing knee surgery last September as a 48th minute substitute during last weekend's narrow victory over Armagh in Castlebar.

Manager James Horan has deemed the Ballintubber clubman fit enough to take his place in the starting 15 tomorrow as Michael Plunkett, Stephen Coen and Kevin McLoughlin also get the nod.

Former Footballer of the Year Lee Keegan, who reportedly suffered ankle ligament damage against the Orchard County, makes away along with Mikey Murray, Conor Loftus and Andy Moran.

Meanwhile, Aidan O'Shea is named in midfield once again despite concerns over a foot injury.

Mayo (All-Ireland SFC v Galway): David Clarke; Chris Barrett, Brendan Harrison, Keith Higgins; Patrick Durcan, Colm Boyle, Michael Plunkett; Stephen Coen, Aidan O’Shea; Fionn McDonagh, Jason Doherty, Ciaran Treacy; Cillian O'Connor, Darren Coen, Kevin McLoughlin.
