Leinster injury update

Some bad news has come in for Leinster’s Will Connors who is set to miss the remainder of the season due to the knee injury he picked up against Cardiff. 

Rory O’Loughlin (illness) and Vakh Abdaladze (neck) are awaiting further assessment this week before a final call will be made on their participation against the Lions this weekend. 

Dan Leavy is scheduled to return to training this week as he enters the final phase of his rehabilitation. 

Rhys Ruddock (quad), James Lowe (hamstring) and Jimmy O’Brien (calf) seem back in tip-top condition and came through the Ospreys game with no issues. 

There are no further updates on the following: 

Ciarán Frawley (facial injury)  

Rónan Kelleher (shoulder)  

Conor O’Brien (hamstring) 

Michael Milne (calf)
