Brian Dooher is set to make a welcome return to the Tyrone side for Sunday’s Ulster SFC quarter-final with Antrim at Casement Park.
Tyrone manager Mickey Harte has named the influential Dooher, Tyrone’s All-Ireland winning captain of 2005 and 2008, in the half-forward line despite his injury-enforced absence since last year’s All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Cork.
Justin McMahon and Stephen O’Neill also return from injuries to take up starting roles and Martin Swift will make his Championship debut at corner-back.
Ryan McMenamin comes in at centre-half back to replace the injured Conor Gormley.
Tyrone team v Antrim:
Pascal McConnell, Martin Swift, Justin McMahon, Dermot Carlin, David Harte, Ryan McMenamin, Philip Jordan, Kevin Hughes, Colm Cavanagh, Brian Dooher, Sean Cavanagh, Joe McMahon, Martin Penrose, Stephen O’Neill, Owen Mulligan.
