Jim Gavin will select his starting team from a full squad for Dublin's All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Tyrone.

Diarmuid Connolly returns from his twelve-week suspension, while the manager has confirmed that Cormac Costello is also fit and pushing for a place in the XV.

When quizzed on the possiblity of Connolly being thrown in from the start for the holders, Gavin stated: "Yeah, we just have to wait and see as we get closer to the game. He is doing his own thing. He is on his own programme. We'll just have to wait and see.

"Cormac Costello is back now as well, he's worked really diligently at his return to play. The squad is fully fit. We have a full squad to pick from."
