Munster confirm ACL injury for flanker Daly

Munster are continuing to count the cost of Saturday's defeat to Leinster, with the province confirming four injuries in their latest squad list.

The most serious is the news that flanker Jack Daly has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The 23-year-old suffered the injury when he landed awkwardly in a tackle late on in Saturday's 35-25 defeat at the Aviva Stadium, with province confirming he will now see a specialist.

Daly's season is over, while Jean Kleyn and Andrew Conway are both doubts for next week's United Rugby Championship quarter-final against Ulster at Kingspan Stadium.

Kleyn will have a scan on a neck injury, although the province say it is not expected to be a long term issue.

Conway suffered a recurrence of the knee injury which had previously sidelined him since March, and will be further assessed.

Alex Kendellen is following the return to play protocols for a head injury sustained in Saturday's game, his second such HIA in six weeks.

In more positive news for Johann van Graan's side, Peter O'Mahony, Damian de Allende and Simon Zebo are all back in full training after missing the defeat to Leinster, while Craig Casey and Stephen Archer re also available again, having missed the Round 18 game due to illness.

Munster take on Ulster in Belfast on Friday 3 June, with the winner due to be away against either the Stormers or Edinburgh in the last four.
