Thompson returns as Donegal name squad for Dublin showdown

By Michael McMullan

DONEGAL manager Jim McGuiness has named his team for Sunday’s showdown with Dublin in Croke Park (1.15pm).

Shaun Patton, who started last weekend, has been listed on the bench with Gavin Mulreany in the number on jersey.

Same again for Farney men

Donegal are otherwise unchanged but there is a return for Ciarán Thompson on the bench.

It marks his comeback from the ACL injury sustained in last summer’s All-Ireland final.

Michael Murphy is set for his 200th senior appearance for Donegal.
