In a positive update, the club confirmed that Seán O’Brien, Josh Wycherley, and Cian Hurley have all returned to camp.
O’Brien has been out of action since November due to a leg injury with Wycherley returning after sustaining a neck injury in the same month.
Cian Hurley has been unavailable since pre-season due to a knee injury.
