Armagh will be without the services of the influential Francie Bellew for Sunday's Ulster Football Championship clash against Monaghan after the full-back failed to recover from a shoulder injury.

Bellew failed to pass a fitness test on Wednesday night and manager Joe Kernan has confirmed that his place at full-back will go to Aidan O'Rourke.

Captain Paul McGrane will be joined in midfield by Kieran McGeeney, while Kernan has given Championship debuts to laft half-back Paul Duffy and goalkeeper Ciaran McKinney.

Armagh (SFC v Monaghan): C McKinney, A Mallon, A O'Rourke, E McNulty, A Kernan, C McKeever, P Duffy, K McGeeney, P McGrane, P McKeever, B Mallon, M Mackin, S McDonnell, R Clarke, O McConville.
