Mayo have made two changes for the All-Ireland semi-final against Dublin.

James Horan has called upon Kevin McLoughlin and Fergal Boland to replace Keith Higgins and Jason Doherty, who damaged his anterior cruciate ligament during the win over Donegal.

Robert Hennelly remains in goals, while there was speculation during the week that Matthew Ruane or Diarmuid O'Connor, both of whom have been sidelined through injury, could make a comeback. However, neither has been included in the starting team named for Saturday evening's showdown.
