Dublin manager Dessie Farrell has named his squad for Sunday’s Leinster SFC quarter-final against Laois at O’Moore Park (3.30pm).
Paul Mannion starts at right corner-forward while 41-year-old Stephen Cluxton is named on the bench along with former Footballer of the Year Jack McCaffrey also among the capital men’s substitutes.
The trio have 19 All-Ireland SFC medals between them and boost Farrell’s squad as the Dubs commence their bid for a 13th consecutive provincial title this weekend.
All in all, there are four changes to the side from the one which defeated Derry in the Division 2 final three weeks ago and they see Eoin Murchan, Ciarán Kilkenny, Paul Mannion and Ross McGarry all coming into the starting line-up, with Michael Fitzsimons, Cian Murphy, Killian O’Gara and Dean Rock the players to make way.
