Armagh must plan without their influential captain Ciaran McKeever for their refixed All-Ireland SFC qualifier clash against Laois.

The O'Moore County had recorded a 1-10 to 0-10 win over the Ulster side when they met a fortnight ago, but Laois used seven substitutes when they introduced Shane Murphy for Brendan Quigley who had received a black card.

Croke Park ruled that the game would be played again and it has been fixed for Portlaoise this Saturday afternoon.

However, Kieran McGeeney must plan without the experienced McKeever who suffered a broken foot while playing for his club.

Also on the injured list are James Morgan and Mark Shields, while it is unclear if some of the younger players on the squad will be available as some were supposed to head to Euro 2016 in France last week and the States for the summer.
