Alan and Donncha O’Connor will line out for the Cork senior footballers in 2017.
An anterior cruciate ligament injury meant Alan missed the first half of last season but he returned to feature in the qualifier games against Limerick, Longford and Donegal.
Donncha was also restricted to just three appearances in 2016 but both players have committed to the inter-county panel for another year.
Both are training with the rest of the panel but they will not feature in January, selector Eoin O'Neill has confirmed.
“They’re on board and they’re training away with us. We know what these guys can do so we’ll leave them off at this point. We have to manage those lads as they have miles in their legs. There is no point running them around the place in January," O'Neill is quoted as saying in the Irish Examiner.
