Nine-time All-Ireland SFC medal winners Stephen Cluxton, Mick Fitzsimons, and James McCarthy are listed among the Dublin subs for Sunday’s Leinster quarter-final against Meath - the first time this year the trio have been included in a Dublin matchday panel.

None of the decorated trio featured during the county’s Allianz League campaign, and so are likely to see their first match minutes of 2024 this weekend. Also on the Dublin bench are Paul Mannion and Cormac Costello, two forwards who began last year’s All-Ireland final win.
