O’Brien gets nod over Buckley in Kerry half-forward line

Stephen O’Brien replaces Johnny Buckley in the only change to the Kerry side for Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final with Kildare in Croke Park (2pm).

While O’Brien was sent off in the Munster final replay win over Cork, this was for two yellow cards so he avoided suspension. Colm Cooper continues to be held in reserve by manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice, having been introduced from the bench in both Cork games.
