Colm 'Gooch' Cooper will make his first appearance of the year for Kerry in tomorrow's NFL Division 1 clash with Derry.

Fellow big guns Tom O'Sullivan and Darran O'Sullivan also return for what is a must-win game for the All-Ireland champions, who have lost their opening two rounds to Dublin and Cork. The return of the experienced trio means Kerry are close to full strength with the suspended Paul Galvin, Tomas O Se and Mike McCarthy the only notable absentees at this moment in time.

Blennerville's David O'Callaghan, David Moran and Darran O'Sullivan will form a new-look half forward line, with Declan O'Sullivan selected at left corner-forward.

Kerry (NFL v Derry): B Kealy; P. Reidy, T. Griffin, T. O'Sullivan; A. O'Connell, A. O'Mahony, K. Young; S. Scanlon, M. Quirke; D. O'Callaghan, D. Moran, Darran O'Sullivan; C. Cooper, K. Donaghy, Declan O'Sullivan.
Subs: G Reidy, A O'Shea, P O'Connor, M O Sé, A Maher, K O'Leary, A O'Sullivan, C Kelliher, B Sheehan, G O'Driscoll. Tweet
