GUINNESS PRO12 high flyers Connacht are on the road again this week with a trip to play Italian side Zebre in round 15. Ahead of next Saturday’s game, the province’s medical department have provided the following update.
There were no new injuries picked up in the bonus point win over the Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade last Thursday night.
Second row Ben Marshall has returned to full training, having recovered from the fractured arm sustained in December. The 25-year-old lock is now available for selection.
Jack Carty has returned to Ireland following splenectomy surgery in Dubai last week. The Athlone native will continue to rest under the observation of the medical team before commencing his rehab programme.
Meanwhile, the availability of the Connacht players involved in the Ireland RBS 6 Nations squad will be confirmed with the coaching team this week. The Connacht team to face Zebre will be named on Friday at 12pm.
