Kevin Keane indirectly replaces Alan Dillon on the Mayo team for Sunday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Tipperary.
The Westport clubman is named at full back with Kevin McLoughlin switching from the half back line to the half forward line in place of Dillon, who was a surprise starter in the quarter-final win over Tyrone.
This weekend's game will mark Keith Higgins' 50th championship start and his 123rd Mayo appearance overall.
Mayo ( SF v Tipperary) 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; Jason Doherty, Andy Moran, Cillian O'Connor.
