DAVE KILCOYNE HAS returned to full training, Munster have confirmed.
The loosehead prop suffered a “short-term” ankle issue in preseason and has now returned to full training as Munster prepare for Saturday’s URC clash against Zebre in Italy (3pm, RTÉ).
Billy Burns will go for a scan on a shoulder injury he picked up against Connacht on Saturday and his availability for Zebre will be determined later in the week.
Patrick Campbell suffered a shoulder injury while in AIL action for Young Munster and “will have a specialist review,” according to Munster.
Also on the province’s injury list and continuing to rehab are: Diarmuid Kilgallen (leg), Brian Gleeson (shoulder), Cian Hurley (knee), Tom Ahern (ankle), Rory Scannell (ankle), Paddy Patterson (knee), Edwin Edogbo (achilles), Roman Salanoa (knee).
Jeez my heart goes out to Campbell. An extremely talented young player but it’s just been one injury set back after the other. The mental fortitude alone to come back from all these setbacks is massive. Hope he makes a swift recovery and we get to see him out on the park asap and he gets an injury free run for once.
@Ian1989: Wonder if it’s the same injury he sustained the last time he played for them. Really unfortunate, imo it could well be the end for him at this level.
Hopefully Tom will be back soon fucture superstar
