Leinster injury update

Leinster coach Jacques Nienaber has shed some light on injuries out of the Leinster camp.

"Dan Sheehan could be back for next years 2025 Six Nations campaign. He injured his knee in Ireland's 27-20 loss to South Africa in July and is currently recovering from ACL damage. There hasn’t been a setback yet,”

Nienaber added that an ACL is usually between 6-9 months.

RG Snyman will be recovered to face New Zealand in the Rugby Championship on August 31st. “I don’t know the extent of his injury, but I heard that he is probably going to be in the mix for the New Zealand test match, so I don’t think it is serious,” said Nienaber. “What I’ve heard within the camp they expect him to be ready for the New Zealand Test.”

French prop Rabah Slimani was also at the Leinster training session as was scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park, who ran but did not take part in any of the contact work. Gibson-Park suffered a hamstring injury playing against the Bulls at the end of last season.
