Squad Update

The squad trained in UL yesterday in the build-up to Munster’s RaboDirect PRO12 fixture against Newport Gwent Dragons on Saturday, 28th September in Musgrave Park (ko 6.45pm).

Rob Penney met with media after the session and provided an update on squad injuries.

BJ Botha who suffered a grade 2 medial ligament injury to the right knee against London Irish last August is progressing very well and would hope to resume some training sessions in the next week to ten days.

Felix Jones (shoulder) has resumed full training and after having been given the all clear from his surgeon is progresing very positively.

Following his surgery last Friday, Tommy O’Donnell who suffered a knee injury during the recent Zebre game is rehabilitating very well and should be expected back in training around the twelve week mark.

Ian Nagle who injured the tendon in his foot, also against Zebre, is settling well and should be back into training early next week.

Luke O’Dea (wrist) is starting to integrate into some contact training and it will be approximately another four weeks before he is match fit.

Conor Murray suffered a recent flare up in a toe injury and is being rested from all training this week. He is expected to return next week.
