Andrew Murnin has not been included in the Armagh starting 15 to face Tyrone in their crunch All-Ireland SFC quarter-final at Croke Park tomorrow.

Scorer of 1-1 during last weekend's thrilling Round 4 Qualifier victory over Kildare, the Lurgan livewire was forced off in the second-half of the 1-17 to 0-17 success at headquarters with a hamstring injury.

His replacement six days ago Ethan Rafferty made a major contribution when coming on, scoring arguably the point of the game near the end but manager Kieran McGeeney has opted to keep the Grange giant in reserve once again.

There are two changes in personnel, however, as Joe McElroy and Ciaran O'Hanlon come in at left half-back and centre-forward respectively while Aaron McKay and Murnin make way in the reshuffle.

Armagh (All-Ireland SFC v Tyrone): Blaine Hughes; James Morgan, Charlie Vernon, Paul Hughes; Brendan Donaghy, Mark Shields, Joe McElroy; Stephen Sheridan, Niall Grimley; Rory Grugan, Ciaran O'Hanlon, Aidan Forker; Jamie Clarke, Gavin McParland, Stefan Campbell.
