TEAM NEWS: Jack Barry starts at midfield with clubmate O’Connor at wing forward

Kerry manager Peter Keane has named his starting 15 ahead of tomorrow's eagerly anticipated All-Ireland semi-final against Tyrone.
In the only apparent change from the 22-point victory over Cork in the Munster final on July 25, Na Gaeil clubmates Jack Barry and Diarmuid O’Connor effectively switch positions with Barry listed at No. 9 and O’Connor at No. 10.
O’Connor retired with a knock just 16 minutes into Kerry’s last outing but the Tralee native has recovered to take his place in the side.
Meanwhile, dynamic half forward Dara Moynihan returns to the matchday squad after recovering from a foot injury that ruled him out of the last three matches. The Spa player is listed as No. 26.
Tony Brosnan misses out on the panel, apparently due to an injury he sustained in the gym.
Shane Ryan continues in goal with Brian Ó Beaglaioch, Jason Foley and Tom O’Sullivan manning the full back line.
Team captain Paul Murphy, who was recalled as a replacement for Gavin Crowley last time out, has been named at centre back. Mike Breen and Gavin White will flank him either side.
In attack, O’Connor links up with Paudie Clifford, Stephen O’Brien and Paul Geaney, with Seán O’Shea expected to resume his role alongside David Clifford closer to goal. However, as we have seen so far this season, any of Kerry’s forwards could end up in any position depending on the pattern of play.
Tyrone are expected to name their team tomorrow. For the Ulster final against Monaghan, they released their line-up around three hours before throw-in.
Joint manager Feargal Logan has indicated that despite the squad’s recent COVID issues, all of his players are available for selection.
