O’Mahony and Carbery ruled out of Munster's clash with Exeter

Munster’s Joey Carbery is dejected after the defeat to Leinster last weekend. 

Munster have been rocked by further injuries ahead of their Heineken Champions Cup first-leg tie at Exeter Chiefs on Saturday with captain Peter O’Mahony and fly-half Joey Carbery both ruled out of the Round of 16 tie and Gavin Coombes sidelined until May.

Johann van Graan’s side, already set to face the 2020 European champions without injured international quartet Tadhg Beirne, Andrew Conway, Coombes, and Dave Kilcoyne, on Friday revealed the loss of O’Mahony to a hamstring complaint and Carbery to a “low-grade leg/knee injury”, which the playmaker presented with following last Saturday’s home URC loss to Leinster.
