LEINSTER ARE HOPEFUL Rónan Kelleher will be available to face Harlequins in the Champions Cup last 16 tie at Croke Park on Saturday, but Will Connors will not be available for selection after injuring his shoulder at the weekend.
Connors, the back row forward, has had bad luck with a number of injuries in recent years and on Saturday against the Sharks he injured his shoulder.
Kelleher, the hooker, will step up his rehabilitation from a neck injury this week and a final call will be made on his availability towards the end of the week, according to Leinster.
Back row Alex Soroka has entered return to play protocols after Saturday’s game and will be assessed over the course of the week.
Cormac Foley has returned to full training after recovering from injury.
There were no further updates from Leinster on Jordan Larmour, Paddy McCarthy, Rob Russell and James Culhane.
Praying for his full recovery and I know his Grandma is and she is 100 years young tomorrow Tuesday April 1st birthday blessings
@Liam Kelleher: r U Ronan’s dad
@Gary Galligan: April fool Gary!!
@Ray Ridge: How much did your clock go forward at the weekend?
@Liam Kelleher: hopefully he’s back asap. Absolute warrior
Connors has no luck at all. Should be putting his hand up for the European squad but likely going to miss a lot of big games if the shoulder injury is serious. Story of his career
