The Munster squad are continuing preparations at the HPC ahead of our Guinness PRO14 Rainbow Cup clash against Cardiff Blues at Thomond Park on Friday (7.35pm).
Paddy Patterson has returned to training following the ankle injury he sustained against Benetton in March.
Gavin Coombes, who was a late withdrawal from the clash against Connacht due to illness, has also returned to training.
Roman Salanoa is unavailable after picking up an ankle injury in training and is undergoing rehabilitation with the medical department.
Conor Murray has a low-grade leg injury following the Connacht match and is currently rehabilitating. The scrum-half is unavailable for the Cardiff game but is expected to be available for the following round.
Chris Farrell is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a groin injury.
Thomas Ahern has rehabilitated his knee injury but the Academy lock has been unable to train due to illness and is unavailable for the Cardiff game on Friday.
