MUNSTER, who return to URC action with a visit from Emirate Lions to Thomond Park on Saturday, have several injury worries.

Jeremy Loughman (hip) and Diarmuid Kilgallen (wrist) are all both likely to be out of action for some time, while the club awaits an update on a neck issue with Jean Kleyn.

In addition, Seán O’Brien will also miss this weekend’s visit of the South Africans due to a leg injury, while Oli Jager is still unavailable with his neck issue.

In better news, centre Alex Nankivell has recovered from a hip problem and is available for selection.
