Kildare meet Tyrone in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final in Croke Park on August 2 @ 4:00 PM.
Gary White and Eamonn Callaghan have been drafted into the Kildare team for this encounter against Tyrone.
Last year's under 21 captain Gary White has been named at left half back in place of the injured Mikey Conway, who has been ruled out for eight months after rupturing cruciate ligaments in last Saturday's qualifier win over Wicklow.
The other change sees Eamonn Callaghan return to the full forward line in place of Ken Donnelly. The Naas clubman was unable to start the Wicklow game with a groin injury, but has proven his fitness to manager Kieran McGeeney ahead of the meeting with the Ulster champions.
Kildare Team:
T Corley; E Bolton, H McGrillen, M Foley; M O'Flaherty, B Flanagan, G White; D Flynn; D Earley; J Kavanagh; P O'Neill; R Sweeney; E Callaghan, A Smith, J Doyle.
Pascal McConnell will make his first appearance for Tyrone since last year's All-Ireland football final. He takes over from the injured John Devine in goal. It is the only change from the side that defeated Antrim in the Ulster final. Devine is facing up to two months on the sidelines after dislocating his shoulder in training last weekend.
Sean Cavanagh remains at midfield alongside Kevin Hughes after scoring 1-4 in a man of the match performance against Antrim, meaning there is no starting place for All-Star midfielder Enda McGinley, who picked up a hamstring injury prior to the Clones clash but came on as a second half substitute.
Tyrone Team:
P McConnell; PJ Quinn, Justin McMahon, R McMenamin; D Harte, C Gormley, P Jordan; K Hughes, S Cavanagh; B Dooher, T McGuigan, Joe McMahon; M Penrose, S O'Neill, O Mulligan.
