TEAM NEWS:THE KERRY team to play Tyrone in tomorrow's Allianz National Football League Division One game in Omagh shows three changes from the team that defeated Donegal two weeks ago. Diarmuid Murphy is back in goal, Daniel Bohane comes in at left wing back and Seán O'Sullivan comes in at right wing forward.

Injuries to Tommy Griffin and Donnacha Walsh, who both came off against Donegal, have ruled them out for selection. Ronán Ó Flaherta is also injured but Kieran Quirke is on the panel for tomorrow’s game.

Meanwhile, Tyrone’s Stephen O’Neill could miss the game after picking up a leg injury during training this week, and is doubtful for the Healy Park clash.

Galway have received a boost with corner forward Nicky Joyce being declared fit as they go for their first win over Dublin in 29 years.
