Brian Ó Beaglaoich and Stephen O’Brien are in line to make their first appearances for Kerry since last July’s All-Ireland final in Saturday’s Munster semi-final.

The half-back and half-forward from last year’s All-Ireland winning team missed all of the McGrath Cup and Allianz League because of knee and hamstring injuries respectively, but the pair have resumed full training in recent weeks and could well make their first appearance of 2023 this weekend.
