Squad Update | Injury woes for Conway and Kendellen but some noticeable returns for Munster

With Munster’s final game in the URC against Leinster chalked off, the province released their squad update for this week.

The Munster squad are training at the HPC this week ahead of the province’s URC playoff quarter-final against Ulster in Belfast on Friday week.

Unfortunately for the red men they picked up injuries to four of their players in the final game of the URC regular season.

Sad news for the young back-rower Jack Daly as he suffered an ACL injury and will be seen by a specialist.

Jean Kleyn sustained a neck injury and has undergone a scan and will be managed by the medical department. It is not expected to be a long-term injury.

Andrew Conway had an aggravation of his previous knee injury and will be assessed this week to determine his availability. Another huge loss is Alex Kendellen who was removed following his HIA and will undergo the return to play protocols under the supervision of the medical department.

In good news, Craig Casey and Stephen Archer will return to training this week following their respective illnesses. Club captain Peter O’Mahony is back to training after a small injury that proved to be rather uncomfortable for the flanker.

Both Damian de Allende (chest) and Simon Zebo (chest/rib) will thankfully also return to full training this week.
