Kelly out but Mohan and Wylie back in Farney squad
Kelly is ruled out with an Achilles injury [Getty Images] Monaghan will be without Louis Kelly for Sunday's Ulster final against Armagh in Clones [16:15 BST] but manager Gabriel Bannigan is boosted by the return of Gary Mohan and Ryan Wylie to the mach day squad. Kelly, who started in the victories over Cavan and Derry earlier in the competition, is ruled out with an Achilles injury and in his absence, Karl Gallagher will move into midfield and Aaron Carey named in the half-forward line. With Kelly out, Darragh McElearney gets the nod to start in defence but this is the only change in personnel from the semi-final win over Derry.
That means Bannigan has resisted the temptation to start Bobby McCaul who made a huge impact when introduced against the Oak Leafs, as the 20-year-old forms part of a strong bench that also includes Mohan, Wylie, U20 star Max Maguire, semi-final hero Jack McCarron and Ryan McAnespie who is still returning to full fitness. While Mohan and Wylie are ready to be called upon, Sunday's final has come just a little too early for Fionan Carolan who is still recovering from a hamstring problem. Monaghan: Rory Beggan; Darragh McElearney, Ryan O'Toole, Dylan Byrne; Cameron Dowd, Killian Lavelle, Dessie Ward; Micheal McCarville, Karl Gallagher; Aaron Carey, Micheal Bannigan, Stephen O'Hanlon; Conor McCarthy, Andrew Woods, Stephen Mooney.
Subs: Kian Mulligan, David Garland, Robbie Hanratty, Bobby McCaul, Gary Mohan, Max Maguire, Ryan McAnespie, Shane Hanratty, Oisin McGorman, Jack McCarron, Ryan Wylie.
