Sean O'Shea, Tom O'Sullivan and Joe O'Connor are among the high profile absentees as Kerry have named their starting team for Sunday's Munster SFC final against Cork.

Kerry were missing a host of players for the eight-point win over Clare, all bar one of whom have returned for the provincial decider. However, the Kingdom will be without O'Shea, O'Sullivan and O'Connor for the clash at Fitzgerald Stadium.

O'Shea has been struggling with a hamstring injury, while O'Sullivan is also sidelined. O'Connor's absence is due to personal reasons. Kerry manager Jack O'Connor has made several changes to the side that defeated Clare, with the likes of David Clifford, Paul Geaney and Stephen O'Brien all starting.

Cork, meanwhile, will be hoping to cause an upset and claim their first Munster title since 2012. The Rebels have named an unchanged side from the one that beat Tipperary in the semi-final.
