Joey Carbery still 'highly unlikely' to face Saracens as Munster take it day by day

Tyler Bleyendaal remains on course to start as Munster’s fly-half in this Saturday’s Heineken Champions Cup semi-final against Saracens after Johann van Graan revealed that Joey Carbery remains highly unlikely of playing.

Carbery, 23, has played just 35 minutes since February 9, when he steered Ireland to victory as a replacement for Johnny Sexton against Scotland at Murrayfield. The former Leinster fly-half injured his hamstring in Ireland camp the following week and though he started Munster’s European quarter-final against Edinburgh on March 30, Carbery was withdrawn before half-time at Murrayfield as his hamstring problems returned.
