Game may come too soon for Henshaw (wrist), Jamison Gibson-Park (hamstring) and Tadhg Furlong (calf)
Ireland’s Cian Healy and Tadhg Furlong face a race against time to be fit for the Six Nations game against Italy in Rome on Saturday. File photograph: Dan Sheridan/InphoDan Sheehan and Cian Healy look the likeliest of the injured quintet of Irish players to be fit in time for Ireland’s next Guinness Six Nations game against Italy in Rome’s Stadio Olimpico next Saturday .
A fuller and familiar-looking squad of about 37 players, who convened at the Carton House hotel last night will be confirmed today along with an update on the injured players. The Italian game may come too soon for Robbie Henshaw , Jamison Gibson-Park and Tadhg Furlong , although all of them could come back into the equation for the round-four game away to Scotland a fortnight subsequently.
But Sheehan and Healy are thought to be recovering from their respective strains and could be options for next Saturday’s game.
