Munster issue squad update as they prepare for rescheduled Leinster clash

The Munster squad gathered at the HPC for training yesterday with the medical department issuing the latest player update.

Following on from the Connacht game on Saturday Keynan Knox required an MRI for a knee injury sustained in the round 11 victory, and the prop will now undergo rehab with the medical department.

Full back Mike Haley and lock Jean Kleyn were treated for head injuries and both will follow the graduated return to play protocols.

Meanwhile, Dave Kilcoyne and Jack O’Donoghue picked up minor knocks in training last week but both are expected to train this week.

Kilcoyne will look to return to full team training towards the end of the week following a calf niggle, while Jack O’Donoghue sustained a low-grade leg injury and will also return to training towards the end of the week.

Unavailable: Matt Gallagher (shoulder), RG Snyman (knee), Neil Cronin (knee), Joey Carbery (ankle).
