Conor McManus and Darren Hughes have both been named in Monaghan's starting line-up to face Armagh, despite concerns surrounding their fitness.

The key duo were forced off with suspected injuries during the Farney County's 1-21 to 0-14 win over Fermanagh, but manager Seamus 'Banty' McEnaney has given them the nod to start in tomorrow evening's Ulster SFC semi-final against the Orchard County at Pairc Esler.

Monaghan (Ulster SFC v Armagh): Rory Beggan; Kieran Duffy, Conor Boyle, Ryan Wylie; Karl O'Connell, Killian Lavelle, Ryan McAnespie; Darren Hughes, Niall Kearns; Micheal Bannigan, Aaron Mulligan, Dessie Ward; Conor McCarthy, Jack McCarron, Conor McManus.
