JOHN Hodnett has been ruled out of Munster’s URC tussle with Connacht at Thomond Park on Saturday (5.15pm).
The back-row is continuing to rehab from a leg injury and will be unavailable this weekend, Munster Rugby confirmed.
Meanwhile, Josh Wycherley is following the graduated return to play protocols and his availability will be determined later in the week.
There is good news, however, for Liam Coombes as he is back in the mix following a shoulder injury.
Academy player Brian Gleeson has also returned to training following an ankle injury.
The club also said that John Ryan has completed his three-game suspension.
Continuing to rehab: Dave Kilcoyne (shoulder), Diarmuid Barron (foot), Roman Salanoa (knee), Jean Kleyn (knee/eye), Paddy Patterson (knee), Patrick Campbell (shoulder).
