Kerry manager Peter Keane has named a strong starting XV for Saturday's Allianz Football League Division 1 opener with Galway.
Ten of the side that started November's Munster semi-final defeat to Cork will take the field at Austin Stack Park.
David Clifford starts in the full-forward line alongside his older brother Paudie.
Keane is also able to call upon the services of the fit-again Paul Geaney, who missed that loss to Cork through injury.
