Jonny Cooper and Eoghan O'Gara are drafted into the Dublin team to play Monaghan in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final at Croke Park on Saturday evening.

Manager Jim Gavin has handed Cooper the number six jersey, with Jack McCaffrey the player to lose out. The Na Fianna club man missed the Leinster final rout of Meath with a soft tissue injury.

Eoghan O'Gara, the scorer of 1-1 when coming on as a substitute the last day, starts at full forward ahead of Paul Mannion.

Dublin (SFC v Monaghan): Stephen Cluxton; Michael Fitzsimons, Rory O'Carroll, Philly McMahon; James McCarthy, Jonny Cooper, Nicky Devereux; M D Macauley, Cian O'Sullivan; Paul Flynn, Kevin McManamon, Diarmuid Connolly; Alan Brogan, Eoghan O'Gara, Bernard Brogan.
