Van Graan sweating on Carbery return for Euro test

Joey Carbery has emerged as a major doubt for Munster’s Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final at Edinburgh Rugby in 11 days after returning from Ireland’s Six Nations camp.

The fly-half missed the last three rounds of the Guinness Six Nations championship due to a hamstring injury and although national head coach Joe Schmidt said the 23-year-old had been “incredibly close” to returning to training last week, Munster boss Johann van Graan said yesterday the former Leinster star was unlikely to face Zebre in the Guinness PRO14 this Saturday and that he was only ‘hopeful’ he would be able train next week.
