Roscommon senior football manager Davy Burke has picked his starting 15 for Sunday's crucial Allianz League Division One clash against Kerry at Dr. Hyde Park.
The side shows two changes to the team that were well-beaten by Mayo last time out.
Niall Daly and Conor Hussey come into the team at the expense of Robbie Dolan and James Fitzpatrick.
Tadhg O'Rourke continues his comeback from injury with a second start of the season at midfield, while Ultan Harney is named among the substitutes.
The Rossies are looking for their first league victory against the Kingdom since 2016.
Kerry manager, Jack O'Connor, has also named his team for Sunday’s clash, and it’s a side that includes some household names like David and Paudie Clifford, alongside Seán O’Shea in the Kingdom's attack.
