Full-back Drew Wylie and left half-forward Darren Hughes are fit to return to the Monaghan starting fifteen for Sunday's Ulster SFC quarter-final local derby clash against Cavan at Kingspan Breffni Park.

The experienced pair have been struggling with injuries of late with Hughes sustaining a foot injury on club duty with Scotstown while Wylie picked up a thigh injury in the run up to the Division 1 semi-final versus Dublin.

Owen Lennon could make his first appearance for the Farney County since last season's FL Division 2 final after been named on the bench.

2013 All-Star Colin Walshe is also included in Malachy O'Rourke's 26-man squad after recovering from a cruciate knee ligament injury.

Monaghan (SFC v Cavan) - Rory Beggan; Dessie Mone, Drew Wylie, Ryan Wylie; Fintan Kelly, Vinny Corey, Karl O'Connell; Neil McAdam, Dick Clerkin; Owen Duffy, Paul Finlay, Darren Hughes; Dermot Malone, Kieran Hughes, Conor McManus.

Subs: Enda Duffy, Kieran Duffy, Conor Boyle, Colin Walshe, Paudie McKenna, Owen Lennon, Stephen Gollogly, Shane Carey, Ryan McAnespie, Paul Meegan, Christopher McGuinness.
