Dublin have been dealt a major boost with the news that Con O’Callaghan has been named in their team to face Louth in Round 1 of the All-Ireland Football Championship.<\/p>\n
The six-time All-Ireland winner came off at half-time with a hamstring injury in the opening round of the Leinster championship against Wicklow and did not feature against Louth or Westmeath in the provincial final.<\/p>\n
The Cuala man was named to start the semi-final encounter with Louth, but has been absent from the match-day panel since the win over the Garden County.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Callaghan is one of two changes from the side that fell to Westmeath after extra-time in Croke Park, with Greg McEneaney also drafted in.<\/p>\n
Theo Clancy and Peadar \u00d3 Cofaigh Byrne, who departed early with an injury against the Lake County after a dominant start, miss out, with the Dubs moving Ciar\u00e1n Kilkenny to midfield to partner Brian Howard and O\u2019Callaghan handed the 11 jersey.<\/p>\n
Dublin: Evan Comerford; Greg McEneaney, Nathan Doran, David Byrne; Se\u00e1n MacMahon, Charlie McMorrow, Eoin Kennedy; Ciar\u00e1n Kilkenny, Byrne, Brian Howard; Se\u00e1n Bugler, Con O\u2019Callaghan, Niall Scully; Paddy Small, Killian McGinnis, Cormac Costello.<\/p>\n
