Diarmuid O’Connor is absent from the Kerry match-day panel facing Cork in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday but Paudie Clifford returns for the first time since the counties’s Munster semi-final.

Suspension and injury had sidelined Clifford for the last two games but he comes in as one of two changes to the side that began the home win over Roscommon. Graham O’Sullivan is selected at wing-forward and Dylan Geaney makes way.
