Kerry boss Jack O’Connor has announced his side for tomorrow’s blockbuster All-Ireland senior football championship opening round clash against Donegal.

The All-Ireland champions are without key defender Gavin White for the Tir Chonaill men’s visit but Joe O'Connor and Brian Ó Beaglaíoch both return to the bench for the Kingdom, while Paudie Clifford, who was a concern after going off injured in his side’s Munster final win over Cork, is also listed among the substitutes.

All in all, there are four changes in personnel from the side which defeated the Rebels in Killarney, with Graham O'Sullivan returning to the team’s defence in place of Armin Heinrich.

In attack, Cillian Trant starts at left half-forward as Diarmuid O'Connor moves to centre-field, with Sean O’Brien dropping to the bench, while Tony Brosnan and Dylan Geaney flank full-forward David Clifford as Tomás Kennedy is named on the bench with Paudie Clifford.

Throw-in at Fitzgerald Stadium is at 3pm.
