Squad Update | Munster Begin Preparations For Benetton In Cork

The Munster squad have started preparations at the HPC ahead of Friday’s URC Round 18 clash against Benetton at Virgin Media Park.

The game kicks off at 8pm with the match now sold-out.

On the injury front, Diarmuid Barron (shoulder injury) and Oli Jager (head injury) are unavailable for selection this week.

There is good news for Edwin Edogbo as he returns to training this week and his availability for selection will be determined as the week progresses.

Continuing to rehab: Jeremy Loughman (hamstring), Ethan Coughlan (hamstring), Billy Burns (shoulder), Shane Daly (hamstring), Roman Salanoa (knee).
