Dubs will be close to full strength

April 23, 2013

Dublin's Rory O'Carroll and Tyrone's Sean Cavanagh will be looking for a semi final spot on Saturday
Dublin will be close to full strength for Sunday's football league final against Tyrone.

All-Ireland winners Rory O'Carroll, James McCarthy, Kevin Nolan and Michael Fitzsimons have all returned to the reckoning and all four featured in Saturday night's SF challenge match against Galway at the Round Towers club.

O'Carroll is back after undergoing ankle surgery and Ballymun ace McCarthy has shaken off ankle ligament trouble.

Nolan and Fitzsimons are both finding their feet again after spells on the sideline.

Ciaran Kilkenny is the only absentee with knee medial ligament damage, while Kevin O'Brien still hopes to be available as he is contesting his proposed three-match ban for an alleged bite on Donegal's Paddy McBrearty.

O'Brien's case will be heard by the Central Hearings Committee tomorrow night.
