Galway manager Liam Sammon has made two changes for Saturday's All-Ireland quarter-final against Kerry.

Mark Lydon comes into midfield for Niall Coleman while the injured Nicky Joyce (groin) is replaced by Paul Conroy.

Joe Bergin recovered from a hamstring injury but his return was postponed by a quad strain sustained in training last week.

Should Galway find a way past Kerry Bergin should be fit to feature in the All-Ireland semi-final.

Matthew Clancy featured at wing back during the Connacht final in Castlebar but has been named at right corner forward.

Sean Armstrong, a scoring substitute against Mayo, remains an injury concern after straining is groin during training this week.

GALWAY (SFC v Kerry): P Doherty; G Bradshaw, F Hanley, D Burke; N Coyne, D Blake, G Sice; B Cullinane, M Lydon; C Bane, P Joyce, P Conroy; M Clancy, M Meehan, F Breathnach.
