Leinster’s wounded on the mend ahead of Scarlets test
Leinster came through the weekend’s bonus point victory over Treviso unscathed and look set to welcome back a number of players ahead of Saturday’s Rabo PRO12 meeting with Scarlets at the RDS (7.45pm).
Centre Andrew Goodman was substituted as a precaution against the Italian side after sustaining a bang to the eye late on in the win but is set to take a full part in training.
Academy second row Ben Marshall (knee) is also expected to be in the frame after featuring in the last two fixtures.
Centre Brendan Macken should also come back into the mix after missing out last weekend with a minor hamstring niggle.
Shane Jennings missed Saturday’s game after failing to fully recover from a shoulder knock but the Ireland flanker is expected to resume full training and be available for selection.
Kevin McLaughlin (knee) is a doubt however while Isa Nacewa will continue to be monitored as he recovers from the recurrence of an arm injury which has restricted him recently.
The team will be named at midday on Friday.
