Donegal will be without Karl Lacey for tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC qualifier versus Galway with Anthony Thompson called up as a direct replacement.

Former Footballer of the Year Lacey was taken off during the 0-11 to 0-10 Ulster final defeat to Monaghan two weeks ago after he suffered knee ligament damage. Thompson fills the void at centre back in what is the only change in personnel.

There is good news on the injury front for Rory Gallagher's charges, however, as Paddy McBrearty and Michael Murphy have both recovered from knee injuries and are named in the full forward line again.

Donegal (SFC v Galway) - Paul Durcan; Paddy McGrath, Neil McGee, Eamon McGee; Ryan McHugh, Anthony Thompson, Frank McGlynn; Neil Gallagher, Martin McElhinney; Christy Toye, Odhrán Mac Niallais, Mark McHugh; Paddy McBrearty, Michael Murphy, Colm McFadden.

Subs: Mark Anthony McGinley, Eamonn Doherty, Declan Walsh, Martin O'Reilly, David Walsh, Hugh McFadden, Leo McLoone, Gary McFadden, Eoghan (Ban) Gallagher, Ciaran McGinley, Daniel McLaughlin.
