DUBLIN ALL-IRELAND WINNING captain James McCarthy is absent from the matchday squad to face Roscommon at Croke Park tomorrow [throw-in 5pm, live on GAA GO].
The nine-time All-Ireland winner starred in the Leinster championship after featuring sporadically through the league, but Dessie Farrell’s side will open their title defence without him.
It’s the one change to the starting team from the Leinster final win over Louth two weeks ago, with Seán MacMahon named in the half-back line in McCarthy’s absence.
