Dermot Earley has been named in the Kildare team to face Meath in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final on Sunday.

The midfielder tweaked his hamstring during last weekend's victory over Monaghan and was forced to watch the closing stages of that game from the sideline.

Ace marksman Johnny Doyle, who misfired at times during that match, is named at full-forward.

Forward Ken Donnelly, who damaged his cruciate ligament earlier this year, is named on the bench and may play some part in Sunday's match against the Leinster champions.

Kildare team to for Sunday's SFC quarter-final against Meath at Croke Park:

Shame McCormack, Peter Kelly, Hugh McGrillen, Aindriú MacLochlainn, Morgan O'Flaherty, Emmet Bolton, Brian Flanagan, Daryl Flynn, Dermot Earley, James Kavanagh, Pádraig O'Neill, Eoghan O'Flaherty, John Doyle (captain), Alan Smith, Eamonn Callaghan

John Mullane and Paul Flynn
