Donegal have named an unchanged side for Sunday's Ulster SFC semi-final showdown with Tyrone, but it remains to be seen whether Jim McGuinness will make late personnel switches for the game at Celtic Park.
Goalkeeper Shaun Patton, a pivotal figure in the win over Derry last weekend, was an injury concern after hobbling off against the Oak Leaf County.
He was replaced by Gavin Mulreany, but the St Eunan's man appears to have proven his fitness for this weekend.
Captain Patrick McBrearty – named to start against Derry but introduced as a second-half substitute – is again handed the 13 jersey, with Aaron Doherty droping to the bench
Opponents Tyrone meanwhile have handed Joe Aguz a starting spot at wing-forward at the expense of Liam Gray.

Ethan Rafferty returns to the Armagh squad for the first time since breaking his leg last summer and is among the substitutes named for Saturday's Ulster semi-final with Down.
Blaine Hughes remains between the sticks as Armagh are unchanged from the dominant opening Ulster SFC win over Fermanagh.
Down manager Conor Laverty has drafted Jonny Flynn into midfield, the only change from the Mourne men’s win over Antrim, with Conor McCrickard the man to lose out.
