Karl Lacey and Mark McHugh have both been left out of the starting line up for the Ulster SFC Quarter final clash with Tyrone in Ballybofey.
Lacey has not played competitively all season following surgery in December, while McHugh has been struggling to shake off an ongoing problem with his hamstring and misses out.
Both players were key in Donegal’s success last year and them missing today’s clash is a massive blow for Jim McGuinness and Donegal.
Declan Walsh replaces Karl Lacey while David Walsh comes in for Mark McHugh.
Donegal (Ulster SFC v Tyrone): Paul Durcan; Paddy McGrath, Neil McGee, Eamon McGee; Anthony Thompson, Declan Walsh, Frank McGlynn; Neil Gallagher, Rory Kavanagh; David Walsh, Leo McLoone, Ryan Bradley; Patrick McBrearty, Michael Murphy, Colm McFadden.
