Donncha O Callaghan

Should feature: O'Callaghan

Munster have been handed a boost after a scan on Donncha O'Callaghan's hamstring indicated he should be fit to face Racing-Metro on Saturday.

O'Callaghan, who was forced to leave the field against Leinster, is expected to be named in the squad for their opening Heineken Cup game.

"Marcus Horan is also expected to be in contention while a decision on Niall Ronan will be delayed until it is seen how he comes through training this week," read a Munster statement.

"Mike Sherry left the stadium on Saturday on crutches but merely as a precaution after he twisted an ankle but the positive news from the weekend was the return to action of Luke O'Dea who played with his club Shannon while Johne Murphy has returned to full fitness as has Felix Jones who will be back in action ahead of schedule in the coming weeks."
