Conor McCarthy regains his place in attack for Monaghan's All-Ireland SFC Qualifier visit of Longford to St Tiernach's Park, Clones tomorrow.

McCarthy was dropped from the start in a late change before the Ulster semi-final replay at Breffni Park where Malachy O'Rourke's charges lost their title to Donegal on a 0-17 to 2-10 scoreline.

Daniel McKenna, who came in for Scotstown's McCarthy prior to throw-in just six days ago loses out through injury, while U21 star Barry McGinn is a notable addition to a bench packed full of experience.

Monaghan (SFC v Longford): Rory Beggan; Colin Walshe, Drew Wylie, Ryan Wylie; Kieran Duffy, Vinny Corey, Fintan Kelly; Kieran Hughes, Karl O'Connell; Owen Duffy, Ryan McAnespie, Shane Carey; Conor McCarthy, Darren Hughes, Conor McManus.

Subs: Conor Forde, Conor Boyle, Dessie Mone, Neil McAdam, Dick Clerkin, Paul Finlay, Stephen Gollogly, Thomas Kerr, Dermot Malone, Barry McGinn, Jack McCarron.
