Laois captain Kieran Lillis returns from suspension for the Leinster SFC semi-final against All-Ireland champions Dublin at Croke Park this afternoon (throw-in 3.30pm).

The Portlaoise man has struck up a strong midfield partnership with John O'Loughlin but reverts to the edge of the square with the injured Eoin Lowry the one to make way. Graiguecullen's Danny O'Reilly, who deputised in the middle of the park against Longford last weekend, retains the number eight jersey.

Elsewhere, Sean O'Flynn and Patrick O'Sullivan come into the defence as indirect replacements for Seamus Lacey (injured) and Mark Barry.

Laois (Leinster SFC v Dublin): Niall Corbet; Trevor Collins, Mark Timmons, Robert Pigott; Sean O'Flynn, Patrick O'Sullivan, Eoin Buggie; Daniel O'Reilly, John O'Loughlin; Gareth Dillon, Paul Kingston, Brian Byrne; Evan O'Carroll, Kieran Lillis, Gary Walsh.

Subs: Matthew Byron, Mark Barry, Ross Munnelly, Michael Keogh, Diarmuid Whelan, Alan Farrell, Shane Bolger, Brian Daly, David Seale, Denis Booth, James Kelly.
