Fiontan MacGib has been handed the number eleven jersey for Dublin ahead of Sunday's Leinster SHC encounter with Wexford.

The Setanta clubman replaces the unavailable Conal Keaney in the only change to the side that came so close to beating Kilkenny last weekend.

The loss of 34-year-old Keaney to a shoulder injury in the 60th minute was a setback for Pat Gilroy's team who led the Cats in injury-time. 

Cuala All-Ireland winner David Treacy is expected to take his place on the Wexford Park bench after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Dublin (Leinster SHC v Wexford): Alan Nolan; Paddy Smyth, Cian O'Callaghan, Bill O'Carroll; Shane Barrett, Sean Moran, Chris Crummey; Rian McBride, Eoghan O'Donnell; Jake Malone, Fiontan MacGib, Danny Sutcliffe; Fergal Whitely, Liam Rushe, Paul Ryan.
