Tomas Waters will captain Wexford against Laois in their Walsh Cup round 3 clash in Abbeyleix on Sunday.
The St Martin's full back, who underwent five operations on a knee injury he suffered against Clare in 2013, was named to start the Model County's opening round meeting with UCD but did not feature.
Manager Liam Dunne has made six changes to the side that eased to a 1-21 to 0-15 win over the Dublin students in Gorey. Goalkeeper Mark Fanning, Eoin Moore, Garrett Sinnott, Daithi Waters and Kevin Foley are the other players to come in.
Meanwhile, Conor McDonald is expected to miss the early rounds of the NHL after he chipped a bone in his ankle while playing for UCD.
