MICKEY MURPHY WILL make his first league appearance of the season in the Tyrone team that faces All-Ireland champions Donegal on Sunday.

Murphy recently returned from Australia and teams up with Sean Cavanagh in the Healy Park derby.

The match acts as a preamble to the meeting of the two sides in the Ulster championship.

Elsewhere, Justin McMahon moves to the corner in place of the injury Conor Gormley, while Conor Clarke makes the switch from midfield to full-back.

Tyrone side: Morgan; McCrory, Clarke, Justin McMahon; McKenna, Joe McMahon, McNamee; Murphy, Cavanagh; McNiece, Harte, Matthew Donnelly; McAlliskey, O’Neill, Mark Donnelly.

Meanwhile, Conor Counihan has been forced to alter his Cork side for the clash against Down, with the likes of Tom Clancy and John O’Rourke required by the under-21s and Damien Cahalane suspended.

Tomás Clancy and Noel O’Leary replace Tom Clancy and Cahalane in the half-back line, with O’Leary penned in to wear the number six jersey.

Barry O’Driscoll replaces O’Rourke among the forwards, while Graham Canty continues in midfield alongside Aidan Walsh.

Cork side: O’Halloran; Shields, O’Mahony, Cadogan; Clancy, O’Leary, O’Sullivan; Canty, Walsh; Goold, Sheehan, Kerrigan; O’Driscoll, O’Neill, O’Connor.
