Monaghan manager Malachy O'Rourke has chosen the same fifteen which lost to Donegal in the Ulster final for Saturday's All-Ireland qualifier versus Kildare at Croke Park.

Despite concerns to Dermot Malone (broken thumb), Kieran Hughes (knee) and Conor McManus (illness), the full forward line trio have been passed fit to play.

Monaghan (SFC v Kildare): Rory Beggan; Ryan Wylie, Drew Wylie, Colin Walshe; Dessie Mone, Vinny Corey, Fintan Kelly; Dick Clerkin, Darren Hughes; Paudie McKenna, Stephen Gollogly, Paul Finlay; Dermot Malone, Kieran Hughes, Conor McManus.

Subs: Gerard McCaffrey, Conor Boyle, Kieran Duffy, Conor Galligan, Karl O'Connell, Gavin Doogan, Padraig Donaghy, Owen Duffy, Thomas Kerr, Jack McCarron, Chris McGuinness. Tweet
