The Cork footballers have made sweeping changes to their side ahead of Saturday's Allianz National Football League match-up against Dublin in Croke Park.

Manager Brian Cuthbert has made seven changes from the win over Kildare last time out, as well as several positional switches.

The Rebels have been boosted by the return of Aidan Walsh from the Cork hurling panel and he has been named in midfield where he will be partnered by Fintan Goold.

UCC's Sigerson Cup-winning defender Conor Dorman comes into the side at centre-back with the returning Eoin Cadogan at full back.

Paul Kerrigan comes in at centre forward, in place of the injured Donncha O'Connor.
