DONEGAL HAVE been dealt further injury blows with confirmation that Neil McGee and Paddy McGrath are to miss this afternoon’s Super 8 game against Kerry at Croke Park.

By Chris McNulty at Croke Park

Rumours have been circulating about the fitness of the 2012 All-Ireland winning defenders in recent days and neither will feature against the Kingdom.

While McGee had been named to start, his place in the full-back line will be taken Eamonn Doherty.

McGrath is also absent completely from the match-day 26-man panel.

Last week, McGrath was a late withdrawal for the win over Meath in Ballybofey and has not recovered sufficiently.

Declan Bonner’s men are also without Eoghan Ban Gallagher, who sustained a broke ankle in training during the week.

Caolan Ward has come into the half-back line to take the place vacated by Gallagher.

In a further change, Eoin McHugh is in for Paul Brennan.

Donegal: Shaun Patton; Odhrán McFadden-Ferry, Eamonn Doherty Stephen McMenamin; Ryan McHugh, Caolan Ward, Eoin McHugh; Hugh McFadden, Jason McGee; Ciarán Thompson, Niall O’Donnell, Jamie Brennan; Patrick McBrearty, Michael Murphy, Michael Langan.
