Karl Lacey has returned to the Donegal team for Sunday’s All-Ireland quarter-final clash against Mayo.
The 2012 Footballer of the Year didn’t start the Round 4 qualifier win over Laois, but came on as a substitute for the final quarter of the game.
The four-time All Star has struggled to get back to full fitness this summer, having undergone hip surgery in the winter, and then having suffered a knee injury shortly after returning to action at the start of the championship.
Lacey returns in place of Declan Walsh in the only change from the side which started against Laois.
Mark McHugh is not named in the starting line-up after suffering a number of injuries in the defeat to Monaghan in the Ulster final.
Mayo are expected to name their team for the game later.
Donegal (SF v Mayo): P Durcan, P McGrath, N McGee, E McGee, F McGlynn, K Lacey, A Thompson, N Gallagher, R Kavanagh, R Bradley, R McHugh, David Walsh, P McBrearty, M Murphy, C McFadden.
