LEINSTER HAVE CONFIRMED that Rónan Kelleher is fit and available for Friday night’s Champions Cup quarter-final against Glasgow Warriors, but James Ryan has been ruled out with the calf injury he sustained in training last week.
Hooker Kelleher missed last Saturday’s 62-0 thumping of Harlequins in the Round of 16 as he completed his recovery from the neck injury he picked up with Ireland during the Six Nations, but the 27-year-old is back in full training ahead of Leinster’s last-eight clash with the URC champions at the Aviva Stadium.
Back row James Culhane is also fit to feature on Friday having followed the return-to-play protocols following his head injury against the Bulls in Pretoria late last month.
Ryan, however, will again miss out after sustaining a calf injury in the lead-up to Leinster’s last-16 win over Quins at Croke Park. Leinster have not disclosed a timeline for the second row’s return.
