Sexton expected to be fit for Treviso tie

Leinster expect Jonathan Sexton to be fit to face Benetton Treviso in the Magner's League on Saturday evening in Italy.

Sexton pulled out of Leinster's first home match of the season against Cardiff Blues last Saturday at the 11th hour with a quad injury. It is thought to be not as serious as first feared.

Shane Horgan (back), Shane Jennings (foot), Fergus McFadden (head) and Sexton will all be assessed fully on Friday before a final decision is made on their involvement.
