Con O'Callaghan has not been included in the Dublin squad for Sunday’s All-Ireland group game against All-Ireland champions Armagh at Croke Park.

The Cuala ace came off injured in the Round 1 win over Galway and will not compete unless he is on the standby list and added late on.

Dublin manager Dessie Farrell has named 14 of the players who defeated the Tribe County last time out with Tom Lahiff coming into the side in place of O’Callaghan having replaced him off the bench against Galway.

Armagh have also been forced into a change in attack following Oisin O'Neill's early injury in the win over Derry.

Conor Turbitt replaced him against the Oakleafers and plundered 1-02, and he has been handed a starting spot.

Kerry are without a key player for their trip to Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday as Diarmuid O’Connor is not included.

Dylan Geaney drops down to the bench with Paudie Clifford and Graham O’Sullivan coming into the starting team.

Dublin: Stephen Cluxton; David Byrne, Theo Clancy, Seán MacMahon; Alex Gavin, Brian Howard, Tom Lahiff; Peadar Ó Cofaigh Byrne, Killian McGinnis; Ciarán Kilkenny, Lorcan O’Dell, Seán Bugler; Brian O’Leary, Cormac Costello, Colm Basquel

Armagh: Ethan Rafferty, Paddy Burns, Barry McCambridge, Peter McGrane; Ross McQuillan, Tiernan Kelly, Jarly Óg Burns; Jason Duffy, Ben Crealey; Darragh McMullan, Rory Grugan, Oisín Kelly; Rian O'Neill, Andrew Murnin, Conor Turbitt

Kerry: Shane Ryan; Dylan Casey, Jason Foley, Tom O’Sullivan; Brian Ó Beaglaoich, Mike Breen, Gavin White; Joe O’Connor, Barry Dan O’Sullivan; Graham O’Sullivan, Paudie Clifford, Seán O’Shea; David Clifford, Paul Geaney, Micheál Burns
