Cork have made three changes to their team for Saturday evening's All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Dublin at Croke Park.

With Seamus Harnedy ruled out with a hamstring injury, Declan Dalton returns to the half forward line, Elsewhere, captain Robert Downey comes in for Cormac O'Brien in the half back line, while Niall O'Leary replaces Damien Cahalane at corner back.

Cahalane is joined on the subs bench by Shane Kingston and Conor Lehane, who made impressive cameo appearances during Cork's Munster SHC final penalty shootout victory over Limerick four weeks ago. Ger Millerick is also fit enough to take his place in the 26-man squad after recovering from a broken finger.

The eagerly-awaited clash is the first Croke Park sellout of the year and is a repeat of the 2013 All-Ireland SHC semi-final which the Rebels won before losing the final to Clare after a replay.

Cork (SH v Dublin): P Collins; N O’Leary, E Downey, S O’Donoghue; C Joyce, R Downey (c), M Coleman; T O’Mahony, D Fitzgibbon; D Healy, S Barrett, D Dalton; P Horgan, A Connolly, B Hayes.

Subs: B Saunderson, D Cahalane, G Millerick, T O’Connell, E Twomey, L Meade, B Roche, J O’Connor, S Kingston, R O’Flynn, C Lehane.
