Horan out but Flannery could return for Ireland

-

WITH Marcus Horan having been ruled out of action for several week, Ireland head coach Declan Kidney has brought Connacht prop Brett Wilkinson into the senior squad for the up and coming November series of internationals. The 35 man squad, together with newly added Leinster back Luke Fitzgerald are in Limerick this week ahead of the start of the Guinness Series in November.

Wilkinson has been added to the squad as cover for Munster prop Marcus Horan who injured his hand last week and has been ruled out of playing for several weeks.

Fitzgerald was not named in the original 34 man squad due to an injury he picked up playing for Leinster, but he has since returned to training and has recovered sufficiently to join up with the Ireland squad.

Munster hooker, Jerry Flannery could make a return to the squad towards the end of the series as the injury sustained to his calf may have recovered enough by then.

The Ireland squad will continue their training camp in Limerick for the remainder of this week before transferring to Dublin next week ahead of the first game of the Guinness Series against South Africa in the Aviva Stadium.
