Lehane and McLoughlin in for Rebels
Cork manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy has made two changes to his team for Sunday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Galway at Croke Park (throw-in 3.30pm).
Conor Lehane has recovered from illness to take his place in the half-forwards, with veteran attacker Niall McCarthy dropping to the substitutes bench.
Daniel Kearney also makes way in midfield as Lorcán McLoughlin has earned a recall to the Rebels' engine room.
Na Piarsaigh clubman Christopher Joyce could see some action as a substitute this weekend having recovered from a hand injury.
Pat Horgan will captain Cork from left full-forward. He is their top scorer this summer with a haul of 1-35 (0-26f).
The Cork-Galway clash will be their first in an All-Ireland semi-final since 1985 when Galway won by 4-12 to 5-5.
The counties last met in the ChamPionship last year when Galway won a qualifier tie comfortably in Limerick.
