Photograph: Bryan Keane/InphoKeith Earls could be in line for just his second Munster appearance of the season this weekend against Connacht after recovering from a thigh injury. The Ireland wing picked up the problem during the round two fixture against the Dragons but is due to return to full training this week.
Joey Carbery is also a candidate to return to action since he is due to complete the graduated return to play protocols this week. He suffered a head injury when he was hit high by Fiji’s Albert Tuisue when lining out for Ireland during the November internationals. Also back in action are Liam Coombes and Jean Kleyn after returning from hamstring and rib injuries respectively. Antoine Frisch went for a scan on a thigh injury but is expected to also return to training.
Keynan Knox and Dave Kilcoyne remain doubts for the Connacht match and will undergo further assessment throughout the week.
