Injury Update

Following scans this week there was mixed news on the injury front for hookers Mike Sherry and Duncan Casey.

Having jarred his knee in the first half of Munster’s Champions Cup opener against Benetton Treviso, Mike Sherry met with a specialist on Tuesday where the prognosis was largely positive. After sustaining a mild ligament injury, the 27-year-old will now undergo a short-term rehab programme for the next few weeks.

The news was less positive for Duncan Casey who ruptured a pectoral muscle in Saturday’s win at Thomond Park. Casey will undergo surgery today with a timeline for his return to be set post-op.
