Injury woes for Munster after Champions Cup victory over Gloucester

Munster are in the midst of an injury crisis following their 36-22 Champions Cup win over Gloucester at Thomond Park on Saturday.

The province’s medical department issued a squad update on Monday morning from the High Performance Unit at the University of Limerick ahead of the Pro14 game with Glasgow Warriors this Saturday.

Tommy O’Donnell is to undergo a scan today to ascertain the damage done to his left ankle during that win over Gloucester.

Rhys Marshall didn’t appear for the second half of that game due to a hamstring problem and he is also due to get a scan done this Monday. Arno Botha also faces a scan for a hand injury.

Dan Goggin suffered a knee injury in the latter stages against Gloucester and will be seen by a specialist tomorrow. Niall Scannell picked up an ankle problem in training last week and continues to get treatment, while Jaco Taute is being managed by the medical department for knee bruising.

However, there is positive news for Keith Earls as he will look to be reintroduced to team training this week.

The following are progressing with rehabilitation: Liam O’Connor (knee), Conor Oliver (toe), Jack O’Donoghue (knee), Dave O’ Callaghan (foot), Conor Murray (neck), James Hart (knee), Chris Farrell (knee), Ronan O’Mahony (ankle), Calvin Nash (ankle).
