Offaly are set to welcome back team-captain Colin Egan in Sunday's Leinster SHC semi-final meeting with Galway at O'Moore Park, Portlaoise.

Egan has recovered from a broken rib to take his place at midfield as part of two changes to the side that saw off Laois (3-22 to 2-14) last time out.

Niall Wynne comes in at right corner-back while St Rynagh's pair Dermott Shortt and Pat Camon make way from Eamonn Kelly's starting fifteen due to injury.

Offaly (SHC v Galway): James Dempsey; Niall Wynne, Chris McDonald, Paddy Rigney; Dermot Mooney, Sean Gardiner, David King; Colin Egan, Sean Ryan; Paddy Murphy, James Mulrooney, Shane Kinsella; Shane Dooley, Joe Bergin, Kevin Connolly.

Subs: Oisin Mahon, Ben Conneely, Cillian Kiely, Paudge Guinan, David O'Toole, Sean Cleary, Emmett Nolan, Jason Sampson, Adrian Cleary, Liam Langton, Dan Kelleher.
