Galway midfielder Sean Kelly has not shaken off an injury and has been replaced in their side by Cein Darcy.

Donegal: Shaun Patton; Ciaran Moore, Brendan McCole, Eoghan Ban Gallagher; Ryan McHugh, Caolan McGonagle, Peadar Mogan; Ciaran Thompson, Michael Langan; Caolan McColgan, Shane O'Donnell, Jason McGee; Patrick McBrearty, Oisin Gallen, Aaron Doherty.
