Mayo manager James Horan has drafted the fit-again Oisin Mullin into his starting XV for this evening's All-Ireland SFC final at Croke Park.
The All-Star defender and Young Footballer of the Year replaces 2021 championship debutant Enda Hession who impressed as a substitute during the 0-17 to 0-14 victory over holders Dublin last month. Mullin missed the semi-final because of a quad injury but has recovered to take his place at wing-back in a late change wearing no.19.
Opponents Tyrone will line out as selected, despite rumours that All-Star forward Cathal McShane would start. Instead, the Owen Roe O'Neill clubman remains on the bench.
Mayo - Rob Hennelly; Padraig O'Hora, Lee Keegan, Michael Plunkett; Paddy Durcan, Stephen Coen, Oisin Mullin (19); Matthew Ruane, Conor Loftus; Diarmuid O'Connor, Aidan O'Shea, Bryan Walsh; Kevin McLoughlin, Tommy Conroy, Ryan O'Donoghue.
Tyrone - Niall Morgan; Michael McKernan, Ronan McNamee, Padraig Hampsey; Frank Burns, Kieran McGeary, Peter Harte; Brian Kennedy, Conn Kilpatrick; Conor Meyler, Michael O'Neill, Niall Sludden; Darren McCurry, Mattie Donnelly, Conor McKenna.
