McGonagle back on Donegal bench as Meath unchanged

McGonagle has missed Donegal's last four games through injury

Donegal have been handed a boost ahead of their All-Ireland semi-final against Meath as Caolan McGonagle returns to the panel.

The defender is named on the bench after missing the last four games with a foot injury sustained in the defeat against Tyrone in the first game of the round robin series.

He takes Aaron Doherty's place amongst the replacements.

Jim McGuinness has named an unchanged starting side from the comeback win over Monaghan in the quarter-finals, with captain Patrick McBrearty again benched.

Meath have also named the same starting side from the one that enjoyed a stunning win over Galway last time out with the same substitutes too.

There is a positional change with Keith Curtis moving to left half forward and Matthew Costello coming in at full forward.
