THE Munster Rugby squad are continuing preparations at their High Performance Centre at UL ahead of Saturday’s Investec Champions Cup clash against Saracens at Thomond Park.

The game, which is live on RTE2 and Premier Sport, kicks off at 5.30pm

On the injury front, there is good news for Conor Murray (elbow), Diarmuid Barron (shoulder), Jack O’Donoghue (shoulder) and Diarmuid Kilgallen (wrist) as they all return to team training this week.

Peter O’Mahony (calf contusion) is continuing to improve and his availability will be determined later in the week.

Munster will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in the Champions Cup having suffered a frustrating defeat away to Castres last time out.

Continuing to rehab: Dave Kilcoyne (thigh), Scott Buckley (calf), Alex Nankivell (hamstring), Thaakir Abrahams (shoulder), Craig Casey (knee), Jean Kleyn (thigh), Liam Coombes (chest), Seán O’Brien (leg), Jeremy Loughman (hip), Josh Wycherley (neck), Mark Donnelly (ankle), Patrick Campbell (shoulder), Cian Hurley (knee), Edwin Edogbo (Achilles), Roman Salanoa (knee).
