Team News:Laois welcome back Tom Kelly and Donie Brennan to the starting line-up ahead of Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final against Wexford at Croke Park.
The news is a welcome boost for manager Liam Kearns who said: "Tom Kelly is one of our best players but he's missed three months."
"He played against Down in the league and was man of the match but he played no more league games after that. He then returned and played very well against Kerry in a challenge but was out again for the last five or six weeks."
Kelly had missed the quarter-final win over Longford but now replaces the injured Aidan Fennelly at full back, while under-21 star Brennan comes in at right corner forward for Noel Garvan who is injured.
Michael John Tierney switches to the half forward line and Brendan Quigley moves from full forward to midfield where he will partner his cousin Padraig Clancy.
The injured pair of Gary Kavanagh and Barry Brennan weren't considered, while Billy Sheehan finds a place on the bench.
Laois(SFC v Wexford): F Byron; C Ryan, T Kelly, J Higgins; P McMahon, D Rooney, B McCormack; P Clancy, B Quigley; R Munnelly, C Conway, MJ Tierney; D Brennan, P Lawlor, B McDonald.
