Injury woes for Derry

Derry stalwarts Paul McFlynn, Niall McCusker and Francis McEldowney have all been ruled out of Sunday's Ulster SFC clash against Monaghan at Clones.

Loup club man McFlynn has failed to recover from a stomach muscle injury, while McCusker is struggling with a pelvic injury and a hamstring injury rules out defender McEldowney.

Kevin McCloy comes in for McCusker at full-back, while Sean Martin Lockhart and Enda Muldoon also start for the Oak Leafers.

DERRY (SFC v Monaghan): B Gillis; K McGuckin, K McCloy, G O'Kane; P Wilson, SM Lockhart, P Kelly; F Doherty, Patsy Bradley; J McBride, M Lynch, P Murphy; Paul Bradley, Paddy Bradley, E Muldoon.
