IT WAS SPECULATED Aidan and Seamus O’Shea would be in contention for places in the Mayo team to face Tyrone on Sunday, but neither player have been included in Stephen Rochford’s starting 15.
Both Breaffy men may still feature off the bench at some point during the Division 1 showdown, which is a repeat of last year’s All-Ireland quarter-final.
Younger brother Conor retains his place in an attack that also sees Evan Regan return, at the expense of Conor Loftus. Elsewhere Chris Barrett makes his first start of the year in place of Donal Vaughan.
David Clarke will make his 95th competitive appearance for the county.
Mickey Harte has made two changes to the Tyrone side. In keeping with his rotational policy, Harte brings in Niall Morgan for Mickey O’Neill, while Padraig Hampsey comes in for Cathal McShane in defence.
