James McCarthy returns to the Dublin team, after he underwent knee surgery in the off-season.
The Ballymun Kickhams star has been named in the side to face Galway at Croke Park on Saturday night.
Evan Comerford continues between the sticks, with no sign of Stephen Cluxton at this early stage of the year.
Eoin Murchan returns to the backs, with Conor Mullally dropping out of the side. Con O’Callaghan and Paul Flynn are the ones to miss out in the forwards, as Ryan Basquel is another who comes in.
The Sky Blues are aiming to bounce back following the opening-day defeat to Monaghan, and they aim to get their title defence up and running as last year’s runners-up come to town. The Tribesmen took on the Dubs twice at HQ in 2018, losing both the National League final and the All-Ireland semi-final.
