Gavin Coombes leads a trio of Munster players returning to training this week but the province will have to plan without Damian de Allende and Simon Zebo for this Saturday’s crucial United Rugby Championship clash with Leinster at Aviva Stadium.

Head coach Johann van Graan is also sweating on the availability of captain and flanker Peter O’Mahony and full-back Mike Haley following the bruising European quarter-final defeat to Toulouse on penalty kicks nine days ago, Munster said in an injury update on Monday.
