Jamie Osborne has returned to full training for Leinster and is available for selection for Leinster’s clash against Munster in the URC at Thomond Park on Friday (KO 7.35pm).
The versatile back has been missing since a groin injury sustained in the Autumn Nations Series with Ireland.
Jordan Larmour and Tommy O’Brien are also expected to be available after missing the match day squad as a precaution last week.
Further assessments are required for Max Deegan (after Graduated Return to Play protocols) and Jack Conan, who was withdrawn as a precaution.
