Fractured fibula for O’Mahony

Editor

Munster have suffered a blow as wing Ronan O’Mahony has sustained a fractured fibula and will subsequently miss the rest of the campaign.

Saturday’s bonus-point win at Treviso came at a price as O’Mahony and Dave O’Callaghan were forced off with injuries in the early stages.

Munster’s medical team have confirmed that along with O’Mahony’s news, flanker O’Callaghan is now awaiting scan results for a knee injury.

“Billy Holland who was a late withdrawal from Saturday’s game due to illness will not take part in training today. John Ryan will also sit out the session due to illness,” read a statement from Munster.

“Following further medical review it has been confirmed that Robin Copeland dislocated his shoulder when playing for Munster A in the British & Irish Cup Final and will undergo surgery this week.

“Jean Deysel, who sustained a rib injury during the Champions Cup semi-final, continues to be monitored and it is hoped the South African will take part in training as the week continues.

“Rory Scannell who sustained a concussion during the same encounter continues to follow return to play protocols.”

In positive news however, scrum-half Conor Murray is progressing with his shoulder rehabilitation as he continues to be assessed by the medical team. Jean Kleyn (neck), Dave Foley (wrist), Sean McCarthy (knee), Mike Sherry (back) also continue to rehab.
