Larmour, Kelleher and O'Brien doubtful for URC clash with Munster

Jordan Larmour could miss the Croker clash with Munster after also missing last week's game against Benetton in Treviso

Leinster may have to do without the services of Jordan Larmour, Ronan Kelleher and Jimmy O'Brien this week as they prepare to face Munster in Croke Park in the URC. 

Larmour was not available for selection at the weekend as a precaution, when Leinster beat Benetton 35-5 in Treviso, and Leinster head coach Leo Cullen says he will be further assessed this week before a final decision is made. 

As for Kelleher and O'Brien, the Irish hooker is a doubt after being withdrawn in the first half on Saturday. Kelleher looked to have injured his ankle and will be assessed before the weekend.

His counterpart Jimmy O'Brien similarly picked up an injury in the first half against Benetton. The full back reportedly injured his hamstring.

Jack Boyle finally returns to the grass after spending some time on the physiotherapist's table due to a foot injury. Cullen says Boyle will return to training this week.
