Diarmuid O'Connor has been included in the Mayo starting fifteen for the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final showdown with Tyrone at Croke Park tomorrow.

O'Connor was a late withdrawal from Stephen Rochford's selection for last weekend's qualifier win over Westmeath having failed to recover from a dead leg. 

The current Young Footballer of the Year was ably replaced by Jason Doherty, who scored 1-1 in the 3-15 to 2-14 dismantling of the Lake County the last day, however, O'Connor regains his place at left half-forward from the Burrishoole clubman in an otherwise unchanged side.

Mayo (SFC v Tyrone): David Clarke; Brendan Harrison, Kevin Keane, Keith Higgins; Lee Keegan, Colm Boyle, Patrick Durcan; Seamus O'Shea, Donal Vaughan; Kevin McLoughlin, Aidan O'Shea, Diarmuid O'Connor; Evan Regan, Andy Moran, Cillian O'Connor.
