Karl Lacey has been deemed fit to start for Donegal in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final versus Mayo at Croke Park tomorrow.
The Former Footballer of the Year has been struggling with a knee injury which forced him to miss the 3-12 to 0-11 Qualifiers Round 4B win over Galway but manager Rory Gallagher has included him at centre-back in his starting 15.
Elsewhere, Martin McElhinney is handed a starting berth at midfield after his impressive showing off the bench last weekend.
Eamon McGee is also carrying an injury but the Ghaoth Dobhair man retains his place at left corner back.
The players who make way are Eamonn Doherty and Hugh McFadden.
Donegal (SFC v Mayo) - Paul Durcan; Paddy McGrath, Neil McGee, Eamon McGee; Ryan McHugh, Karl Lacey, Frank McGlynn; Neil Gallagher, Martin McElhinney; Martin O'Reilly, Odhran MacNiallais, Mark McHugh; Paddy McBrearty, Michael Murphy, Colm McFadden.
Subs: Mark Anthony McGinley, Anthony Thompson, Eamonn Doherty, Christy Toye, David Walsh, Hugh McFadden, Declan Walsh, Leo McLoone, Gary McFadden, Ciaran McGinley, Eoin Ban Gallagher.
