Armagh boss Kieran McGeeney has been forced into making two changes to his defence for tomorrow's refixed All-Ireland SFC Qualifier against Laois at O'Moore Park.

Ciaran McKeever and Mark Shields miss out through injury and their places in the half-back line go to Sean Connell and Stephen Sheridan.

James Morgan is also sidelined through injury, while Aidan Forker will skipper the side in the absence of regular captain McKeever.

The Orchard County lost the original fixture at the Portlaoise venue two weeks ago but it later emerged the hosts used too many substitutes.

Armagh (SFC v Laois): Patrick Morrison; Shea Heffron, Brendan Donaghy, Joe McElroy; Sean Connell, Andy Mallon, Stephen Sheridan; Charlie Vernon, Aaron Findon; Tony Kernan, Rory Grugan, Aidan Forker; Niall Grimley, Stefan Campbell, Miceal McKenna.
