O’Leary to miss Munster’s Brive clash
O’Leary has been sidelined since injuring his eye in a freak training accident before the Six Nations clash with England. He meets a specialist this week to assess his recovery but Munster chiefs last night predicted he wouldn’t return until the Magners League tie against the Scarlets on April 16. Fellow international Jerry Flannery will undergo a surgical procedure to discover the cause of his long term calf problem.
A spokesman said: “Tomás O’Leary (eye) will see a specialist this week but is expected to be in the frame for the Scarlets game while Jerry Flannery (calf) undergoes a surgical procedure in Santry this week after which medics will further assess his injury.
